The Importance of Imperfection

Cleary begins her book by debunking the myth of the perfect parent. She argues that there is no such thing as a perfect parent, and that trying to achieve perfection is a recipe for disaster.

Instead of striving for perfection, Cleary encourages parents to embrace their imperfections. She says that our imperfections are what make us unique, and that they can actually help us to be better parents.

For example, Cleary admits that she is not always the most patient person. However, she says that her impatience has taught her to be more understanding of her children's mistakes.

Cleary also believes that our imperfections can help us to connect with our children on a deeper level. She says that when we share our own struggles with our children, it helps them to feel more seen and understood.

However, Cleary also reminds us that the challenges of parenting are a normal part of the experience. She says that it is okay to make mistakes, and that we should not be afraid to ask for help.

In fact, Cleary believes that asking for help is one of the most important things that parents can do. She says that there is no shame in admitting that we need help, and that there are many people who are willing to lend a helping hand.

The Joys of Parenting

Despite the challenges, Cleary also believes that parenting is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. She says that the love of a child is unlike anything else in the world, and that it makes all the struggles worthwhile.

Cleary also finds joy in the everyday moments of parenting. She loves watching her children grow and learn, and she cherishes the time that she spends with them.

Even though parenting is hard, Cleary would not trade it for anything. She says that being a mother is the best thing that has ever happened to her, and that she wouldn't change a thing.
