Hi Mummy, thanks for reaching out! Most first-time parents feel this way. There’s no manual for parenting, and every child is different. What matters is that you’re paying attention, asking questions, and trying to understand your child better - that already makes a huge difference. If you ever feel unsure about their behaviour, development, or emotions, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Getting support doesn’t mean you’ve failed - it just means you care enough to want to do right by your child. You’re doing better than you think!
