Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 342: Why You Must Be IMPERFECT to Raise Great Kids


Listen Later

It's natural to want to do a "good job" as a parent. We want to be attentive, be calm when our kids are having a difficult time, teach them all the skills they need to know in life…and it's easy to be really hard on ourselves when we don't do all of those things well. The good news is, our kids don't need parents who never make mistakes -- they actually need us to be imperfect!

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why it's hard for us to accept that our imperfections make us better parents

  • Four reasons we MUST be imperfect to raise great kids

  • What we should spend our energy on, instead of trying to be good at everything
