It is not my intention to tell people how to parent. There are as many different ways to do it as there are families and parents in the world. It is my goal, that by sharing my story, I can help parents find things that work for them. I am still figuring this parenting thing out, and It’s freaking hard!! I often say, “I’ll take all the help I can get!”
As a parent you get to pick and choose what works for you and your family. If something I do doesn’t resonate with you, then just realize that it’s not the right fit and that’s ok. Please don’t judge other parents, especially if you don’t know them. You don’t know their story, and we’re all doing the best that we can. Unless there is an emergency, then you should call 911 and let a professional handle it!
If you are feeling overwhelmed or you feel like you might hurt yourself or your child, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Many Cities have their own support Hotlines. Here is the one in San Francisco: 24-hour crisis line for parents: 415-441-KIDS
