I will be the first to tell you, that more often than not, things do not go as planned. On a daily basis, I find myself in parenting situations I didn’t expect, and oftentimes don’t even know what to do. There is no “coach’s playbook” for everything under the sun that can arise, and we are constantly faced with new challenges. It is important to trust your gut and do the best you can. The most important thing is to expect the unexpected and then you won’t be as fazed when things are the way you envisioned they would go.
