True Measure of a Mom: Healthy and Secure Children

(05/09/14) NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As families across the state prepare to celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, a reminder for mothers to not judge themselves so harshly. 

Family therapist Karen Walant says while many strive for the ideal of the so-called super mom – perfect in every way – there is no such thing as just right.

"There's, I like to call, small victories,” she points out. “There's just each individual moment and, 'How did that interaction go?' 

“And then the next interaction and then the next – always building and building, and building onto the basic bond. 

“You know, there is no such thing as perfection. We're all in a process. We're all learning."
