Parenting is hard and you're probably feeling like you're failing. Seeking help through podcasts or books isn't a sign you're doing it wrong, it's a sign you care enough to try. Give yourself grace.
I just want to say to parents who are sitting there thinking, I am like, listen, parenting is so effing hard. It is the hardest thing you will ever do, hands down. So if you're sitting at home thinking, oh my God, I yelled again, or I'm failing and they're not listening, or I have no connection. When you are listening to these podcasts, when you are reading the books, you're not failing. You're still trying.
That's right.
So I— hats off to you. I'm telling you, the only time it's easy is when they're sleeping, and then when they're up the other 36 hours a day, it's effing hard. I'm with you. So, you know, keep reaching out to these podcasts and the books, and I'm telling you, you're doing a great job if you're even asking the questions and seeking help. You're doing a great job. Give yourself grace.
Give yourself grace. I love it. All right, Shel, thank you so much.
