Perfect parents don't exist. Honest ones do.
If you've ever bribed your toddler with snacks, hidden in the bathroom for five minutes of peace, or wondered whether bedtime is secretly a form of torture... congratulations, you're normal.
Parenting is messy, exhausting, and sometimes hilarious - and that's exactly what this book is about.
In Perfect Parents Don't Exist, award-winning author Nam Nguyen (Raising Future Leaders) shares 15 uncomfortable truths about raising kids - the kind no one posts on Instagram.
With a mix of science, humor, and real-life stories, he shows you how to stop chasing perfection and start growing alongside your children.
Inside, you'll discover:
Why your child's emotional maturity rarely rises above your own (and what to do about it). Why "fair" doesn't always mean equal. Why being called "mean" can actually be a compliment. Why the best sign of success is your kids not needing you anymore.
This isn't a book about flawless parenting. It's a book about being real: stumbling, repairing, laughing, and learning - both as parents and as people.
Whether you're a new parent, expecting your first child, or knee-deep in the chaos of toddlerhood, this book will give you honest lessons, relatable stories, and practical tips to help you grow into the parent your kids truly need.
Because perfection was never the goal. Growth was.
