This so needed to be shared. The pressure on young mothers to be perfect is just not necessary. Instead, slow down, breathe and just be happy. You’ll learn something new about your kids everyday and learn instead to judge your parenting by your children’s ability to love one another, and create peace and joy in their own lives.
“Parenting has nothing to do with perfection. Perfection isn’t even the goal, not for us, not for our children. Learning together to live well in an imperfect world, loving each other despite or even because of our imperfections, and growing as humans while we grow our little humans, those are the goals of gentle parenting. So don’t ask yourself at the end of the day if you did everything right. Ask yourself what you learned and how well you loved, then grow from your answer. That is perfect parenting.”
