FAQ
Q: Is it okay if I don’t have all these ingredients every day?
Absolutely. Superhero parents aren’t perfect—they’re persistent. Missing ingredients can always be added tomorrow.
Q: What if I lose patience or make mistakes?
That’s part of the recipe! Repairing, apologizing, and reconnecting are powerful tools that strengthen the parent-child bond.
Q: How do I know if the recipe is working?
Look for small signs: more smiles, smoother transitions, and a growing sense of trust between you and your child.
Q: Can this recipe work for teens too?
Yes—but expect to adjust the seasoning. Teens require more listening, more space, and slightly stronger boundaries.
