Summary
Zibby interviews repeat MDHTTRB guest Carla Naumburg, Ph.D. about her latest book, You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent, a reassuring and hilarious guide for parents who need to cut themselves some slack. After asserting that there is no such thing as a sh*tty parent, Carla outlines her three core practices (connection, curiosity, and kindness) and shares personal anecdotes to illustrate them. Finally, she and Zibby exchange recent parenting wins and fails (lesson: never trust the thoughts of a hungry or tired brain).
