Good Enough Parenting by PANDA

Having a baby is life-changing. It can deliver a lot of love, joy and fulfilment but it can also create demands and responsibilities that feel relentless, difficult and scary. It’s natural for new parents to want to ‘get it right’ and do what’s best for their baby. And there’s so much advice about what that means. But there’s something we want to tell you about ‘getting parenting right’: the very powerful and helpful idea of ‘good enough parenting’. Join PANDA as we talk about Perinatal Mental Health, looking after yourself during pregnancy and after birth and how to get help if you need it.
