Parents make a lot of mistakes, sometimes from caring too much.
There is super high investment in your kids that you don’t have in someone else’s kids, a little part of that relaxation would have been good for mine. You kind of know all the kids will be OK, not perfect now or later, and it is OK.

See what the kids need. Don’t worry about expectations you might have or other people might impose on you.

I’ve learned to take a breath. If my kid is doing something at their speed it will probably be OK.

With our kids, we worried so much more. We had to dial that back because otherwise we would drive them crazy.
