I dropped the ball.

I recorded this podcast episode about a week later than I should have. Everyone makes mistakes, right? It’s inevitable. Moreover, that’s what we tell our children — but as parents, we can be a lot less forgiving with ourselves when we drop the ball.

Got five minutes (or less)? The latest — and late — episode of our podcast, Just give me 5 minutes, please!, suggests that rather than trying to be perfect, maybe we would be better served by putting our energy into how we respond when we fall short.
