Practically Perfect Parenting

When I became a mum, I worried about lots of things. I worried about COVID, I worried my relationship wouldn’t survive children, I worried I might not enjoy parenting. What I wasn’t worried about was finding the best way of parenting. After all, I am an expert in evaluating evidence. I can critique stats, I can tear apart a methodology, I can identify a biased dataset at a thousand paces. Surely, I could identify the optimal parenting strategies and implement them? Easy.
