Minimally Acceptable Parents

We find excellence on the first day of Pre-K, the joys of school pick-up, and our initial thoughts on "The Marriage Journal." Then, we attain imperfection with screaming matches and a long venting session about all things residency - the weight of expectations, the burnout, physician suicide and experiencing breakthrough.  We introduce "Hands Free Momma" by Rachel Macy Stafford with a discussion on our first impmressions, presentness (with a detour into safe sleep), connectedness in the family (and another detour into connecetedness in medicine), and deliberateness. As always, we wrap it up with The Parent Board. **Although not explicit, this episode contains discussions that some parents may deem too mature for little ears**  Show Notes: Exploring Excellence 01:02 Attaining Imperfection: 11:02 Book Review 26:03 Parent Board 50:10 40:10 - American Academy of Pediatrics article from 2017 discussing digital dedia, anxiety, and depression in Children 53:10 - "The Greater Good" reference to Hot Fuzz *spoiler aler
