Taylor and Joseph discuss the trap of worrying about not being good enough as a parent. And, the false and impossible idea that if we aren’t perfect, we’ll damage our kids forever.
In this episode, Taylor shares the heartwarming story of an experience with one of his young sons that almost broke him. And, how he learned that the sweet innocence of a child can quickly let go of mistakes, forget, and move on.
Everyone fails at parenting in one way or another. Gratefully kids are resilient, and the damage we inadvertently do can almost always be repaired. It just takes a little humility and a willingness to do better. But, you’ve got to be sincere, persistent, and forthright as a parent.
