Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a great big “undo” button that would completely erase all of your parenting mistakes?

Unfortunately, no such button exists. But perhaps if we stopped repeating the mistakes that other parents have made, we wouldn’t need an undo button in the first place.

Think about it. There are generations upon generations of moms and dads that have come before us. And they’ve faced many of the same issues you’re struggling with today.

So here’s your homework assignment. Sit down with a few veteran parents and ask them this question: “If you could do this parenting thing all over again, what would you do differently?”

Hindsight is always twenty-twenty. And taking their regrets to heart might keep you from repeating their mistakes.
