Being the best parent is about smiles, hugs, giggles, and butterfly kisses. It is about wanting to be the best parent you can be to your child and knowing that none of us has it all figured out.
The best parents wonder if they’re doing it right. The best parents wake up each day ready to try and learn and shift and grow. The best parents know it looks different in each home.
Simply put, the best parents love their children and all of the peripheral decisions (the bottles the diapers the schooling…) are made out of the overflow of that love based on the unique make up of that family.
And if you’re reading this and wonder if you’re the best parent to your sweet little one… if you care that much… the answer is yes. Yes you are.
