Humans expect ourselves to be great parents - naturally
Many parents feel guilty that they are "bad parents," and when they find themselves struggling, they fear that they are unfit, and that somehow they don't have the innate ability that they should have to be good parents.You weren't born with that skill any more than with the ability to speak your family's native language. Before you became fluent, you had to learn it: one word at a time and with a lot of repetition.
You learn how to parent the same way -- one lesson at a time, through practice and trial-and-error. And error. And error. Which is why every parent, at any stage of their child's development, needs Parenting as a Second Language, A Guidebook for Joyfully Navigating the Trials, Triumphs and Tribulations of Parenthood. This book is the first step in your journey towards becoming the amazing parent you always knew you'd be.Related Subjects
