Connie Herman is a parenting coach, the coordinator for Nobody's Perfect Parenting Program in Saskatchewan, and the founder of Parenting Potential. She's also a friend of mine who happens to be doing great things in ensuring parents have the proper tools to help raise their own kids.

As parents, we're blessed with the most wonderful creatures the world can provide. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not bless us with an instruction manual on how to care or these creatures. People like Connie are an amazing resource for parents as well as for other parent coaches. The success of her program, Nobody's Perfect, has recently been recognized by the World Health Organization for their work in parental mental health, positive parenting, and support for early learning. Connie was also instrumental in getting this program online during the COVID pandemic, to great success.

After we catch up on old times, Connie and talk about some of the tools parents can use to help their kids, such as stress recognition and emotional regulation, modelling behaviour, and the role of fathers.
