## Resource

Lauren Edmunds challenges the modern tendency to overcomplicate parenting with endless books, social media advice, and podcasts. Using the analogy of consuming "twenty chocolate cakes," she warns against the overwhelm of seeking answers in external sources while neglecting the basics. This episode is a refreshing call to return to the essentials: connecting through eye contact, modelling good manners, and maintaining consistent routines for sleep and nutrition. Lauren reminds parents that they don't need to be perfect all the time, but doing their best in the moments they are with their children is what truly makes the difference. Omatas Learning Centre
