Good enough might look like you know their hair looks a little scraggly and they're not. They haven't put on anything with a waistband in Six Months.
Parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown countless challenges at families, and Diana Clark, a family recovery advocate, offers a refreshing take on what it means to be a 'good enough' parent in these turbulent times. On this episode of The Right Mind Media Podcast, hosts Jon Cohan and Gabrielle Dean dive into a heartfelt conversation with Clark, who emphasizes the importance of compassion and understanding in parenting during such unprecedented circumstances.
Clark suggests that parents should face the facts of the situation, find areas where they can excel, and lean on community support for resilience. She reassures parents that it's okay if their children aren't hitting every milestone and that finding a balance between shielding them and letting them feel their emotions is key. One of the major hurdles discussed is homeschooling, which can be overwhelming for many parents.
Clark advises making learning fun and engaging rather than trying to mimic a traditional classroom setting. She also highlights the importance of allowing children to express their frustrations openly. Another topic covered is the challenge of adult children moving back home due to financial strains. Clark talks about setting clear boundaries and expectations while recognizing the difficulty of the situation for everyone involved.
She suggests finding ways for adult children to contribute to the household, whether through chores or helping with younger siblings. Through it all, Clark's message is one of empathy and practical advice, offering parents a sense of relief and solidarity. Tune in to this episode for a dose of reassurance and actionable tips on navigating parenting during the pandemic.
