Overcorrecting: Parenting in the Middle While the World Shouts in Extremes
THE BOOK THAT ALL MODERN PARENTS NEED
You’re doing everything you were told…
So why does parenting still feel so heavy?
For every parent who has silently wondered if they’re getting it all wrong.
Overcorrecting is for you. It’s for the parents wondering:
“Why am I working this hard and still feeling like I’m getting it wrong?”
If you’re exhausted from advice that contradicts itself…
If you’re tired of swinging between being “too much” and “not enough”…
If you're craving a grounded center that feels like you…
You’re in the right place.A MOMENT YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE
You collapse onto the couch after bedtime,
hands still trembling from the last outburst.
You didn’t mean to yell.
It wasn’t even the thing they did—
it was the hundred moments before it.
The shoes left out.
The sibling argument.
The “I don’t want to.”
The weight of the day pressing into your temples.
You hear your own voice echoing back—
words you swore you’d never use,
tones you thought you’d grown past,
the kind you still remember from your own childhood.
You pull your knees to your chest and whisper,
“This isn’t who I want to be.”
But you don’t know how to stop the swing.
You want to enjoy your children, but it’s so challenging and nothing you do feels “right”.
Despite your good intentions, you keep getting it wrong.
The problem isn’t that you’re doing it wrong.
It’s that you’re being asked to carry too much.
What if I told you that your struggles are common in every household right now?
We live in a parenting culture obsessed with the right choice:
The right sleep method.
The right discipline style.
The right level of independence.
The right tone, the right reaction, the right script.
But nobody talks about the space between the choices—
the place where your child learns who you are.
The place where your nervous system whispers the truth,
your intentions get swallowed by overwhelm,
and the shame of “I should be better” quietly rises in your chest.
This book lives in that space.
And it’s going to change the way you see yourself forever.
An Excerpt from Overcorrecting:
“Parenting today is filled with an endless amount of conflicting advice. Parents are bombarded with information—books, blogs, Instagram reels, experts on TikTok—each claiming to have the “right” way to raise a child.1 Modern parenting exists in a paradox: We are expected to be responsive yet firm, flexible yet structured, nurturing yet hold boundaries. Every decision feels like a test, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. People are screaming at us from all sides and the world is in our hands. How we raise our children matters.
On top of that, we are carrying the weight of our own childhoods. Whether we want to or not, we absorb the parenting styles of those who raised us. Some of us vow to repeat their approach, while others are desperate to break free from it. We try so hard to either replicate or reject our past, but we rarely pause to consider what truly aligns with who we are and what our children need.
The result? Parents who are constantly second-guessing themselves, who are paralyzed by the fear of getting it wrong. Parents who oscillate between extremes of reaction vs intention, caught in a cycle of overcorrecting.
