“Am I doing it right?” “Am I being a perfect parent?” These are some of the questions that many parents find themselves asking. Given that parenthood has no manual, we certainly shouldn’t beat ourselves up whenever we feel that we aren’t being the “perfect mom or dad”.
In this episode, Kathleen is joined by Dr. Earle Chambers, an Epidemiologist, director of research within the clinical department of family and social health, and an amazing dad of two sons. For Dr. Chambers, loving yourself isn’t overly indulgent, it is crucial in parenthood as it is in all other relationships. And it includes failing at some things.
Tune in as Dr. Chambers shares his honest opinion about parenthood and some of the tips that can help you win at parenting.
