Brave Not Perfect by Reshma Saujani illustrated book summary | Busy Mom Bookclub
Illustrated book overview of Reshma Saujani's Brave Not Perfect. In this video, I share the main lessons I have learned from Reshma's book: how perfectionism, and the fear of failure and rejection hold us back and prevent from going after our dreams, how to become more brave, and how to overcome failure.

    Very interesting. I've listened to a lot French parents and can say without a doubt this was my grandmother's take on parenting and my mother's. We have French ancestors on my grandmothers side and I can see a lot of these strategies carried over the generations. The only thing that did stick was the diet however, I am on a mission to correct this in my family. Thank you for sharing!

    The chicken nugget thing in the US is absolutely a post Gen X phenomenon. Food may not have been as gourmet before the 90’s but kids did eat balanced meals much of the time with the whole family. Even school cafeteria food was somewhat balanced and included fresh fruits and vegetables. Somewhere we lost our way and traded saving time to cram more stuff in the day for nutrition and mealtimes. Of course not everyone is like this but the fact restaurants changed their children’s menus practically overnight and everyone just went with it says something about how much we value food, quality of ingredients, and mealtimes as a society. Collectively we have not been able to drive the food industry to do better. Our grocery stores are basically landmines of unhealthy chemical laden fake foods that we have been convinced are good or the standard. It’s very frustrating. Great effort, time and money goes into sourcing good food here. We just don’t have access to it as much as in France but that again is because we are not driving the demand for it due to our hustle get ahead at all costs culture. It’s a vicious cycle. I eat in the French or old fashioned American style but I know not everyone has the luxury to do so or do not see the value in it. So there we are. It will be interesting to see how things change over the next 50 years. Hopefully for the better! ❤

    Exactly how I am feeling currently, thank you for the video! I have a 2 and a almost 4 year old, living in UK, but coming from Hungary (left in 2018). I know from a while that I need a real break or just a good friend chat, my husband is very nice and trying to help me, but as you said it is not the same as talking to another mother. I find it very difficult in UK to make friendships, people are incredibly kind, but they don't let you close to them easily. Unfortunately, my family stayed in Hungary and our connection is not as good as before, they just keep critisizing me if I do something differently (e.g. I was an evil because I gave formula to my newborn baby when he didn't want to accept my breast milk). Anyway, I am trying to follow your tips and hoping it will be easier tomorrow. Stay strong and good luck to all the mummies! ❤

    Praise be to God, we Muslims draw reassurance from performing the prayer imposed on us by our Most Merciful, Wise Lord, in addition to the fact that its movements (prostration and kneeling) are among the important movements for childbirth. Likewise, patience in the face of pain and difficulties in anticipation of the eternal reward of the afterlife, and in obedience to God, without dissatisfaction with His destiny, expiates the sins of everyone who is patient. If I am a Muslim mother, I remind myself during childbirth that God will finally bless me with someone who will be my support and I will be his support, helping each other to do what the Creator created us for. And I gain the reward for raising him and those after him, an ongoing charity and mountains of good deeds that will never end on the Day of Judgment.

      Yeah, don't go near angry kids or angry dogs 😅. Imagine if you were angry, would you want physical comfort or someone in your space? probably not... likely they need space to vent or something else to focus on. the comfort part i think needs to happen after they've calmed down a bit, and should be a choice you offer them rather than obligation. 🤔

    when my granddaughter (20 months) screams for no reason, I just look at her and let her cry it out, I'm not rewarding her bad behavior with giving her attention. By Bad Behavior I mean she doesn't get what she wants or she'll just walk up and scream to be picked up. If you pick her up, she stops but the second you put her down, scream.....nope, not doin that. Luckily, she knows better than to try that with me, she does it with her mama all the time and her mom picks her up, I tell her that is giving in to her bad behavior but she can't stand the screaming.
