Description

We are responsive parents. Not perfect ones. In this episode of Childproof Tori and Gwenna tackle some of their less than stellar moments, discuss the glories of apologies, and recount some of their wilder moments of total disregulation. Hate getting interrupted? Us too. Triggered by feeling ignored? Same. Feel destructive and overstimulated by a toy? Mood.

We are not perfect parents. We are people doing our best. It’s cool to accept that, embrace that, learn from our mistakes, and try something different next time.

We want to hear from you, share your parenting fail or what you're working on to be a better parent: childproofmail@gmail.com
