Perfection doesn't exist.
In anything. Doing the best we can is as close as we get - and sometimes it isn't very close but will have to suffice.
Sue - But as perfectionists, we strive for the unattainable, right?
Interesting stuff. They do a good job of putting the information into an understandable form.
My kids should all be fine then. I never believed in perfect parenting and they all got plenty of sleep when young. They are all fine and excellent parents themselves, so the grandies are turning out okay too.
Kathy - They do! Sign up for their email. It's free.
River - I was too busy trying to be perfect with my own stuff to be perfect with my kids.
May happens to be National mental Health Awareness Month, so your post is timely.
Kirk - Maybe that was the reason for the articles.
Thanks Mike
Be kind, nurture and play with your kids. Give a damn about their interests. Make eye contact. Listen. Let them know who have their back.
Cloudia - You knew all this already, right?
Lady - The obvious is hard for some people to comprehend.
