It Is Hard to Let Go!
It is often difficult to watch our children liking different things than we like. Sometimes your daughter may choose the red pajamas when you would like her to wear the blue. Your son may join the chess club instead of the wrestling team. When we feel such frustrations, it would be a good time to remind ourselves that we are here to meet our children’s needs. They are not here to meet ours.
You are bound to make a few mistakes along the way, but at least you can be actively working toward creating a confident, independent adult, rather than someone you can control all his or her life. You wouldn’t want permanent control even if you had it.
It is hard to let go but let go you must!
