Reverse Your Thinking

We place so much pressure on ourselves as parents to provide everything for our children. Our notion of the 'perfect' parent, whether we're present to it or not, feeds our concern that we're never quite providing enough.

I think we're kidding ourselves that we know the answers.

Instead, have you ever stopped to ask what does my child need in a mother/father. What do they actually need? What would they say ... I'm guessing it has little to do with private school fees, soccer training, or designer baby clothing, but rather, they'd say love, security and a tuck in at night.
