Perfect parents don’t exist. Honest ones do.

If you’ve ever bribed your toddler with snacks, hidden in the bathroom for five minutes of peace, or wondered whether bedtime is secretly a form of torture… congratulations, you’re normal. Parenting is messy, exhausting, and sometimes hilarious — and that’s exactly what this book is about.

In Perfect Parents Don’t Exist, award-winning author Nam Nguyen (Raising Future Leaders, Raising Genius) shares 15 uncomfortable truths about raising kids — the kind no one posts about on Instagram. With a mix of science, humor, and real-life stories, he shows you how to let go of perfection and grow into the parent your kids truly need.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why your child’s emotional maturity rarely rises above your own (and what to do about it).

• Why “fair” doesn’t always mean equal — and why that matters more than you think.

• Why being called “mean” is sometimes the biggest compliment your child can give you.

• Why the best sign of success is your kids not needing you as much anymore.

This isn’t a book about flawless parenting. It’s about being real: stumbling, repairing, laughing, and learning — both as parents and as people.

Whether you’re a new parent, expecting your first child, or knee-deep in the chaos of toddlerhood, this book will give you honest lessons, relatable stories, and practical tips to help you keep growing as a parent, even while your kids grow up fast.

Because perfection was never the goal. Growth was.

Declarations we all need to reinforce with ourselves

This is an excellent support of keeping centered and present in our daily parenting endeavors and what that whole-person modeling can mean for emotional and life development across the board.
