Dr. Brene Brown's Ten Guideposts to Wholehearted FamiliesWe all know that perfect parenting does not exist, yet we still struggle with the social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. These messages are powerful and we end up spending precious time and energy managing perception and the carefully edited versions of the families we show to the world. On The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting, Dr. Brene Brown invites us on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike. Drawing on her 12 years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she presents 10 guideposts to creating what she describes as "wholehearted" families where each of us can continually learn and grow as we reach our full potential, including:
Cultivating worthiness in families the knowledge that we are each always worthy of love and belonging Vulnerability the key to true connection Engaging in creativity and play as a family Practicing gratitude and joy in the home Respect and hard work in a culture of "fun, fast, and easy"
