What if the perfect parent were the one who accepted they could no longer be perfect?
Today’s children were born into a world where everything is urgent. Stopping, thinking and talking no longer seem to fit the rhythm of daily life.
By the end of the day, after school and its demands, children and parents are completely exhausted. They want only to lie down for a short night before starting the same frantic race again the next day.
