The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting
We all know perfect parenting doesn’t exist—yet society often tells us that imperfection equals inadequacy. Those messages can be powerful, pushing us to spend our time and energy managing appearances rather than nurturing authentic relationships.
In The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting, Dr. Brené Brown invites parents on a transformative journey—one that changes not only how we raise children, but how we live as families. Drawing on 12 years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she offers 10 guideposts for creating “wholehearted” families—places where everyone is free to learn, grow, and reach their fullest potential.
Her guideposts include:
- Cultivating worthiness—knowing we are always worthy of love and belonging
- Embracing vulnerability as the key to real connection
- Playing and creating together as a family
- Practicing gratitude and joy daily
- Modeling respect and hard work in a world that values “fun, fast, and easy”
Dr. Brown reminds us that embracing imperfection is what equips us to raise children who are courageous, compassionate, and connected—young people who know they are worthy of love, belonging, and joy.
Join us for this engaging study, meeting weekly on Mondays at 6:30 pm starting September 8.
