This morning I looked over at Daniel Tiger on TV and saw kids playing on a playground; Johnny watching attentively. 

Here it’s Saturday morning, and my kid is watching other kids play on a screen. Serious mom guilt. So off we went to the park. Johnny rode his bike, and we had a great time. 

I’m grateful for that little nudge to do something active. But, man, parent guilt is everywhere:
– too much television
– not enough discipline 
– too much discipline 
– not enough activity 
– too much sugar 
– not enough vegetables 

And the list goes on and on….

I think most of us are doing the best we can at the most challenging, important job we’ve ever had. I’m trying to be gentle on myself, and hope you are too!
