A Lesson in Parenting

Dear Q,

If you ever become a parent, parent your children.  Be there.  Listen.  Learn who they are and what they need.  Sit back and listen to them.  Intently.  Trust their instincts.

Trust your instincts above anything you hear, read, or have been told.  Ignore those who judge you – it’s not about them; it’s about you and your family.

When in doubt, love.

Love always,
Mom

  1. Trust your instincts. A lesson I too hope to teach my boys, but so hard to do with so much pressure as a mom. I struggle with it, I’m sure you do. I hope to get better so I can really model this one for my boys. Love this letter!
