Interesting list but I'd considering being less prescriptive in the future. Hard for me to really buy in when the opinions shared are so explicitly hardline: "ideally, every day"; "never" (3x!); "always", "every single" (both 2x) "everything possible."

Being able to say "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken away your favorite toy for a week, I was angry and made a mistake" is an important grace to give yourself.
