Dumping Best for Good Enough

This chapter of Bluey Bros refers to episode 1:34, The Dump. In this podcast episode, we discuss the “good enough” parent and the role and importance of parental imperfection. We refer to the works of Sir Ken Robinson, David Winnicott, Martha Nussbaum, Avram Alpert, and Aristotle as we think about how Bandit navigates the difficult process of moving from a paragon of fatherhood to an imperfect person who is a father. We discuss the importance of aiming for good enough as opposed to perfection and how our failures produce important opportunities to demonstrate how we repair situations and relationships when we inevitably fail.
