You’re Not Failing—You’re Parenting Through the Unexpected

Sometimes I catch myself replaying the early days of the pandemic, wondering if I could have prepared my family better. But then I remind myself: none of us saw this coming. Parenting doesn’t come with a manual for global crises, and we all did our best with what we had. If you’re feeling guilty for not anticipating every challenge, know that you’re not alone. We’re all learning as we go, adapting and loving our kids through uncertainty. Give yourself grace—you’re doing better than you think. Have you struggled with unexpected parenting challenges?
