We parents know that when people ask us how we are and we say fine we do not always mean it. Parents today try so hard to have it all and strive for perfection. It is time that parents learn that “good enough” parenting means not putting so much pressure on ourselves and comparing ourselves to others. This does not mean you care any less for your children or that you discipline them any less. To the contrary. It is about accepting that it is not always easy and often as parents we are scared and tired. It is about realizing that good enough parents are damn good parents.

Key Takeaways:

• Being a good enough parent means knowing you cannot do everything to perfection with a smile at all times.
• It’s a stressful world and you can be imperfect as a parent and still be a damn good parent.
• Parents today are too hard on themselves and should know that if they are doing their best they are doing a great job.

“And underneath all that noisy inner criticism and self-doubt, all we really want to hear is a quiet but reassuring voice saying, You’re doing a good job, a damn good job.”
