Have you ever felt stuck and maybe like you might be revising your decisions a lot? Maybe you are second-guessing your choices and wondering if you should make just one more change to get it right?

If decision fatigue, inconsistency, or over-adjusting leaves you feeling unsure or overwhelmed, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode of That’s Good Parenting, host Dori Durbin explores the powerful connection between revision and decision-making and how both parenting and children’s books benefit from clarity, consistency, and emotional containment. Drawing on her work as a children’s book illustrator and coach, Dori explains why endless revising often keeps parents stuck, while thoughtful decisions help kids feel calmer, safer, and more regulated.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Revision vs. Decision-Making in Parenting
• Why Overthinking Can Increase Stress for Parents and Kids
• How Consistency Supports Emotional Regulation
• What Children Actually Need to Feel Safe and Calm
