It is so, so, so difficult to let go! Between fostering their independence and making sure they're well protected... it is hard.
With my oldest, the biggest thing I've struggled with is letting him try things on his own without my direct intervention or input— and being okay with him figuring out the outcomes and the solutions on his own.
I don't think these concerns ever go away, it's just that we as parents find new and better ways of coping!
Yes, very hard. 😩
Wow holding back input is definitely going to be hard for me. I can just imagine.
That’s such a good point. As long as we are here and as long as we are parents we will always have concerns. Finding ways to cope is definitely key. Thank you for your feedback :)
