Do you hope, wish, long to be the person who has “got it all together”. You know those types they seem to be able to juggle the many roles that they have in life with such ease. They seem to always have a smile on their face and a jump in their step. Their crying baby, wrinkled clothes, and unruly preschooler don’t exist, because their children are perfectly behaved and they area always dressed to a T. 
Is this really real? Is that even possible? I don’t think so. The appearance of “having it all together” may seem as real as day, but in reality they are most likely feeling inadequate in some capacity and are breaking their necks to seem perfect, just like you.
After all, is this what you want to teach your children, that they have to be perfect, that they cannot slip up, make a mistake or have an off day? I sure hope not, because that will be a pretty miserable life they’ll be forced to live. Mistakes, after all, are a part of life and help us on our journey, teach us little lessons that aid us in our next steps. Without those mistakes, most likely most of us would still be where we were, not miles ahead and much wiser. So, allow your child to experience the results of their mistakes and the joy of learning from them. Their lives will be better for it.
