Realistic Human Parenting

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present.

With so much information out there on positive parenting, I found it hard to find advice that felt realistic — that understood what it’s like to be a human parent. That’s why I created this guide. Because we’re not just raising children — we’re learning how to be parents, too.

The Human Parent is a gentle, research-backed guide for real-life parenting — created for the tired, the solo, the overwhelmed, the doing-their-best.

Inside, you’ll find simple, science-based tools to help you:

• Set boundaries without yelling
• Support your child’s emotional growth
• Build connection in the everyday
• Balance tech and screen time
• Raise confident, resilient kids — even without a village
• Most importantly, be empathic to yourself - the parent

Written with compassion and honesty, this guide reminds you that your mistakes don’t define your parenting — your willingness to learn, repair, and keep showing up does.

Start small. Start today. You’re already enough.
