Brian Johnson argues parents should stop chasing perfection and instead be predictably present. Showing up consistently, even imperfectly, matters more than occasional flawless moments. When asked the single most important thing a parent can do, his answer is simple: just show up.
First thing you need to know as a parent is there are no perfect human beings, period. We do not need you to be perfect. You will not be perfect. You wanna move from trying to think you need to be perfect to you wanna be predictably showing up. There's a big, big, big difference between perfectly showing up and predictably showing up. Can you more consistently, never perfectly, but can you more consistently show up for your kids? Dan and Tina ask, what's the single most The single most important thing I can do for my kids to help them succeed and feel at home in the world, what would you guess it is? What is the single most important thing you can do to help your kids flourish, show up as their best, however you want to frame it up? The answer is very, very simple. It is show up. Just show up.
