Exactly! Schools should take advantage of the gigantic flow of parents that come to pick up their children nearly *every single day*
An admirable, responsible parent is one who tries their very best, despite their imperfections and missteps. This is what the “Good Enough Parenting” approach is all about.
Coined by English psychoanalyst and pediatrician Donald Winnicott in the early 1950s, this ideology emphasizes rejecting perfectionism and focusing on being physically and emotionally available to the child.

It's even worse when they are trying to hide that guilty look on their face...
At the time, Winnicott introduced the idea of the “good enough mother,” where he pointed out that striving to be perfect or “the best” only does more harm than good. Psychiatrist Dr. Alexandra Sacks shared a similar view, advocating for mothers to aim for compassion when they're with their children.
“Some days this means seeing the triumph in keeping your baby fed, clothed, and (mostly) clean. Other days, this means accepting your stumbles and moving on without beating yourself up,” Dr. Sacks wrote in an article for Medium.
She also noted that occasional failures are understandable in motherhood. However, compassionate and authoritative parenting is what the baby will gravitate toward more.
You’ve likely seen parents (even your own) have their fair share of struggles. Despite their shortcomings, they are doing their best. According to parent facilitator and educator Jasmine Pulido, there is no metric for what “good parenting” is.
“Instead, parenting becomes a nourishing relationship—one that allows both parent and child to be whole,” she told Parents.com.

The Programming club will provide automation support to the D&D dungeon masters. The D&D campaign has a couple of chess puzzles. The Chess club's electronic boards will do battle with the Programming club's AI. Some students will be trying to wear two or three hats. Parents should provide lots of pizza and soda, and just stand back and watch the organized chaos. The survivors will do it again next week.
So, what does “good enough parenting” look like, exactly? According to Pulido, it often comes in the form of a mindset shift. That instead of looking for perfection, parents can strive for authenticity.
“When my kids spill milk, I say, ‘That’s okay, we can clean it up,’” she said. “And when I spill milk, I say the same thing. Mommies make mistakes, too. We’re all learning.”

And jump on their new sofa and drop chocolate on it. Bounce on the bed, turn the taps on so hot water just drips out and leave everylight on. Not saying we have friends that have been planning this for year and the list of actions gets longer and longer.

My son is the same, except he's way... WAY more educated on it than me... I feel bad that most of my answers end up being "I don't know buddy"

My worst smell was when my kiddo didn't finish their prawn snack and put the leftover prawns in a napkin in my handbag without telling me. The pong was off the Richter scale.
