Being a parent can be tough these days. Dozens of books and
articles offer competing answers to questions from how to help
siblings get along to how much screen time is too much, and every
decision you make feels important. It's no wonder that many parents
feel tired, stressed, and unsure of whether they're doing a good
job. Tim Cavell, PhD, and Lauren Quetsch, PhD, authors of Good
Enough Parenting: A Six-Point Plan for a Stronger Relationship With
Your Child, talk about what “good enough parenting” means and
why it’s a worthy goal, why nurturing the parent-child relationship
is parents’ most important job, why science backs the old adage
“choose your battles wisely,” and how to develop loving, supportive
relationships with your kids that will stand the test of time.
