Lessons I Wish I’d Learned Earlier as a Parent

Looking back, I realize there are so many things I wish I’d known before becoming a parent. One of the biggest lessons is that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Early on, I put so much pressure on myself to be the perfect parent, but I’ve learned that showing vulnerability and asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. I also wish I’d understood sooner how quickly the little moments pass—those bedtime stories, messy art projects, and spontaneous hugs. Now, I try to savor every bit of it, knowing how precious these days truly are. What’s something you wish you’d known sooner on your parenting journey?
