Heather explores the pressure she felt as a new mom to “measure up” and be “attachment-based enough”.  This pressure to be good enough is a theme that comes up often in her one-on-one and sleep group work.

In this episode, Heather explores:

• “Attachment Parenting” and the 7 B’s

• Why checklist parenting undermines what is truly important to you (and what to focus on instead)

• The freedom in knowing that not every moment is perfect

• The questions parents ask about whether what they are doing is attachment-based enough or if what they are doing is actually sleep training

• The value of knowing what’s most important to you so that decisions are easier

• Looking ahead at where you want your parenting to steer your family

• Appreciating that you are in a season of parenting right now that requires some compromise 

Mentioned in this episode:

• Scott Noelle Scott Noelle - Author & Life Coach

• Dr. and Martha Sears, The Baby Book and the 7 B’s
