👄 REAL TALK - Parent judgement; why do we care so much what other parents think?

Have you ever made a parenting decision based less on what your child needed and more on what you worried other parents might think?

From Book Week costumes to screen time, homework and the state of our homes, we’re unpacking the pressure to look like we’ve got parenting “together”.

We share our own ridiculous moments, your responses and why we’re so wired to fear judgement — plus how to stop parenting for everyone else and start trusting yourself.

Because chances are, everyone else is too busy worrying about being judged themselves.
