Deep dives

Becoming a parent is a gradual process

Becoming a parent is not something that happens all at once. It is a gradual process of learning, growing, and embracing the challenges and joys of parenthood. Just like the Velveteen Rabbit in the story, becoming a real and authentic parent takes time and a willingness to be vulnerable. It requires resilience and accepting the ups and downs of parenting. Day by day, little by little, through the choices we make and the love we give and receive from our children, we transform into the parents we aspire to be.

The Journey of Becoming a Parent

4min

No one is the parent they want to be. That’s the bad news. The good news is that most of us are better parents than we were.

We’ve talked a lot about the big choice we all have to make. Are we just somebody who has kids? Or are we a parent? And while this is a choice, it’s also more of an aspiration. You don’t magically, suddenly become the perfect parent. How could you? There’s so much you don’t know, so many lessons you haven’t learned, so many gifts you haven’t been given yet. So much stuff hasn’t happened yet.
