All moms want to be good mothers to their children. But parenting in an increasingly complex world isn’t a simple or easy task. Parenting is, for the most part, often “on-the-job training.”
None of us are perfect moms or have kids who make all the right choices. Sometimes, we learn not because we “did it right” but because we didn’t do it so “right,” but we gained wisdom through the process.
Being a mom is a hugely important role, but one that often feels frustrating and unrewarding. There are so many challenges we face as parents, and we all want to do better, listen better, plan better, live with more discipline, teach better, model better, and love better. The next-generation depends on it.
