118: Dragon Mothers and Parenting Mistakes

 

This week, I'm talking about the times when we don't like who we are and the way we're parenting our kids. I answer the following questions:

• How did I get the nickname The Dragon Mother?
• How did I get on top of my quick-temper and become a more calm and patient mother?
• Am I now a perfect mother or do I still make mistakes?
• How did my first child cope with her inexperienced dragon mother? Was she irreversibly affected by my far-from-perfect parenting?
• Do we actually need to be perfect parents?
• Is the unschooling life perfect?

 

I also tell a lot of stories during this episode.
