I am a parent of 5 kids. Do you have any children?

True! The English pediatrician and psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott described the concept of "good-enough" parenting in which a minimum of prerequisites for healthy child development are met; isn't that crazy?

Wow that is! Maybe that is why adults had more children in the 1900s then adults do nowadays.

Good point!! Parenting skills vary, and a parent with good parenting skills may be referred to as a "good parent" lol

That is true, not all children are blessed with 2 supportive and loving parents. But everyone has their standards of being a "good parent".

Very True; Winnicott expressed, "The good-enough mother...starts off with an almost complete adaptation to her infant's needs, and as time proceeds she adapts less and less completely, gradually, according to the infant's growing ability to deal with her failure."
