Does Parenting Feel Like A Wild Ride?
Parenting isn’t just about what our children need, it’s also about what we as adults raising fellow humans need. We must bring our whole selves to the game, and then accept that many days it’s a win if we are parenting “good enough.”
Parenting is messy, imperfect and a golden opportunity to learn compassion and forgiveness- for yourself and your kid. Being a parent is wild, crazy and sometimes unpredictable. If you aren’t yet a parent but are considering it, you can’t start thinking about your own childhood and the experience you want to create for your future child too early. And if you’re a parent about to launch your high school senior or college student, it’s never too late to reinvent or just tweak this transformation to empty nesting.
The good news is that we only really need to get our parenting right about 33% of the time and be willing to try and repair the rest for the parent-child relationship to be a success.
Whatever your stage of parenting and whatever your reasons for seeking support, we will use humor, empathy, compassion, developmental knowledge and creative problem solving to help build your confidence, tackle the challenges and help you find your parenting groove. There is no such thing as being a perfect person, much less a perfect parent. Raising a kid isn’t about perfection, but being good enough and using your energy on the most important parts.
