RELATIONSHIP WORKSHOP

The “Good Enough” Parenting Skills Workshop

Do you often find yourself wondering if you are a good enough parent? And do you sometimes struggle with mom or dad shame? With increased accessibility to parenting books/blogs, social media image of the “perfect family”, and our own unresolved relationship dynamics with our primary caregivers, more parents are experiencing high anxiety, burnout, and are suffering silently within the parenting community.
