Olivia Scobie provides practical solutions for parents who find themselves pushing beyond their capacity to meet impossible standards, and she challenges parents to shift their thinking from child-centered to family-centered. By naming today’s unrealistic parenting expectations as impossible from the get-go, Impossible Parenting creates the space to acknowledge harmful expectations for new parents and begins a conversation that focuses on healing and doing the best one can with the resources available.
