I say this fiercely: if you are feeling utterly discombobulated by new (or otherwise) parenthood, there is nothing wrong with you.

The challenge is to maintain balance, when the earth keeps shifting. What a fantastic phrase. How great to see it deployed, by the special guest at Monday’s Parent-infant Drop in session at the Library.

Imagine if, instead of pathologizing this and hiding away, we accepted the dance as part of it, and shared resources, tools, experiences.

Thanks to the library for their ongoing work to provide space for new parents to gather.
