Things to Remember

"Parenting is figuring out when to step in, when to step back, when to step aside and what is the right thing to do for our children at their age and stage for this circumstance."

"The real art of parenting is forgiving yourself and the imperfect children you're trying to raise."

"Your presence is worth a lot."

"The more you get good at practicing having those difficult conversations lovingly, the better off you will be." 

"Help when you don't need to. Nobody will know but you."

"Parenting is the greatest opportunity in our lives for at least one human being to become an even better human being by the sheer force of our love."

- Dr. Harry Cohen
