Hey there, parental achievers! Welcome back to Hope is NOT a Plan. I'm your host, Kevin Pannell, parent for seventeen years to three rambunctious boys, and today we're tackling a topic close to all our hearts, especially those juggling the joys (and meltdowns) of parenthood. Today on How to Accept Our Imperfections as Parents | Five-Minute Friday 09, We're talking about accepting our imperfections as parents.

In this episode, I share two quick tips to help parents balance imperfection with solid parental leadership.

• Reframe the narrative
• Celebrate the small wins

Going into the weekend, let's ditch the "perfect parent" myth and embrace the "imperfectly awesome" ones we truly are. Remember, hope is not a plan, but accepting yourself as a parent is a powerful first step.

Stay safe out there parents, be OK with imperfection, and I wish you all Godspeed.

Kevin
