It’s interesting how our views can shift when circumstances change. Sometimes, hitting the pause button and reevaluating our priorities can lead to unexpected insights and a newfound appreciation for the simpler moments with our little ones. 💕

It emphasizes the importance of not striving for perfection as a parent, which can relieve many of us who often feel overwhelmed by societal pressures. Your perspective on being “good enough” resonates with me, as it allows for flexibility and acknowledges that we are only human. Parenting is a journey, and it’s great to see an article that encourages self-compassion and acceptance in the face of the inevitable challenges we encounter. Kudos to you for tackling this topic!

Hi Meagan! LOL – you make me laugh.
I would tell your friend that — for the kid who is too shy to get off the bench — they should watch and wait until *they* decide they want to go in and play. Once they get some level of comfort with it, they will let you know. And if they have no interest in playing… then there’s your answer (and not always the one we want to hear, unfortunately).
Thanks for reading 🙂

Hi Jessica! There’s a big difference in helping a kid understand concepts they are struggling with, etc., and doing things for them (or doing a project for them, for example). I know parents who DO their kids IXL math work because they are simply tired of battling their kids on it (too much homework is a whole other issue).
So it’s helping them learn how to arrive at the answer vs. giving them the answer in order to “check it off the list”.
Cheers!

I subscribe to a lot o these parent philosophies, and I am often the “black sheep” of my mom friends (in a loving way, of course!). So I am glad to see more advocation for less scheduling, less hovering, and more focus on raising good people

It consolidates so many things I’ve learned and struggled with as a parent. It’s been such a relief to release some of the burdens I carried early on about doing everything for/with my kids. I love the book recs too, I added several to my list. Other books that support this approach that I’ve found really helpful are “Simplicity Parenting” by Kim John Payne and Lisa M. Ross and “How to be a Happier Parent” by KJ Dell’Antonia.
