Finally, for any of you that might have felt under pressure with your parenting over the summer break, I just wanted to remind you that 'good enough is good enough'! Every so often we all need a reminder that there is no need to be perfect in our parenting, all we can do is to try our best with what we know at the time. You are exactly the parent your child needs, flaws, imperfections and all!
