Maggie Dent – The Science Behind ‘Good Enough’ Parenting

You just have to be a good parent 30-40% of the time. According to the research, and parenting expert Maggie Dent.

In our Academy of Imperfection, Maggie schools parents Hugh and Josh, and trusted non-parental figure Ryan, about the ‘no matter what’ rule, the importance of micro connections and the beauty of a well-timed fart.

An advocate for imperfect parenting (which is REALLY great for brand alignment), Maggie insists on the significance of unconditional love when raising boys.

Maggie you are wonderful. This was wonderful. You’re the best.
