Murphy Makes a Mistake: A Pawsitive Lesson on Not Being Perfect - Paperback

Funk, Becky: - Becky Funk is a parent communication coach who helps moms build the kind of connection with their teens that makes kids actually want to talk to them. A recovering perfectionist herself, Becky knows firsthand how the pressure to "do it right" can follow someone from childhood all the way into adulthood...and right into parenting.That pressure is what inspired her debut children's book, Murphy Makes a Mistake, the story of an anxious, perfectionist cat learning that mistakes don't make him bad, they make him brave. The book is based on Becky's real cat, Murphy, who is every bit as anxious (and lovable) as he appears on the page.Becky has raised two sons, now grown young men, and draws on both her coaching work and her own parenting journey to help families move away from perfectionism and toward real connection, one honest conversation at a time.She lives with her husband, Tim, their anxious cat Murphy, and Charlie, a certified therapy cat who gets most of the attention around the house. Murphy Makes a Mistake is finally giving Murphy his turn in the spotlight.
