I’m told BYUtv does a positive feature story like this for every team the Cougars play. A very nice gesture on their part. And this was well done.

Nobody’s perfect.

This week I’ve been exploring attachment, a deep emotional bond between infants and their parents.

In prior posts we’ve discussed four different attachment styles, with an emphasis on the most desirable and healthy of them all: secure attachment.

Yesterday I emphasized that attachment styles result not from how you interact with your child SOME of the time, but how you interact ALL of the time - by which I mean that the totality of your interactions and the consistent and predictable patterns you establish with your child are what determines these outcomes.

For this reason, your default mode should be warm and responsive.

But today I want to insert a small, but important, caveat. Or at least a little more nuance.

Nobody’s perfect. Nobody.

As a well-intentioned parent it’s easy to hold yourself to an impossibly high standard. And that’s a recipe for fueling your own anxiety and ill health.

The truth is that you can’t be instantly responsive 24/7 to your child’s every possible need.

This isn’t an excuse to slack off. But it is a reminder to be kind to yourself.

Parents are human. And we all have our lesser moments.

We can be moody, stressed, exhausted... Sometimes we’re upset. Or distracted.

And sometimes you need to take a shower. Or answer a knock on the door.

Life happens. And the last thing I want you to take away from this conversation is a sense that any missed opportunity - or even the occasional boneheaded mistake - will cause your child irreparable harm.

Instead think of attachment kind of like a jury might in a civil trial: what does the preponderance of the evidence suggest?

Are you ALMOST always meeting your mark? If so, take this post as a little peace of mind.

Secure attachment doesn’t require a perfect report card. If it did, secure attachments likely wouldn’t exist.

The late pediatrician Donald Winnicot is credited with the concept of “good enough parenting” - which I’ve always found to be a really useful frame.

This same concept holds true for lots of other advice that I’ve offered, by the way. Do you want to plop your baby in front of a screen all day? Absolutely not.

Is it realistic to think they’ll never be exposed to one? Also probably not.

Parenting isn’t an all or nothing proposition. So aim high… but give yourself a little grace.

As instructed in this video posted to IG by digitalmumincome, I’m sharing it to let you know you’re doing an amazing job.

(If you read regularly you’ll know this child is actually in active sleep - which sometimes includes eye opening… and most likely smiling reflexively…but it’s cute and its other message fits today’s post. So just enjoy!)
