Parents, Did You Know?

π˜‹π˜π˜‹ π˜ π˜–π˜œ π˜’π˜•π˜–π˜žβ€¦?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
πŸ”ΉAs a parent, it’s normal to feel a sense of grief as your child grows up. Gone are the days when they depended on you and soon, they’ll be out on her own.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
πŸ”ΉEven as adults, we have to make sure we deal with our emotions in a healthy way. Don’t allow your feelings or emotions to hold your child back. They should not feel guilty for growing and moving forward in life.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
πŸ”ΉKeep in mind that you and your teen don’t have to agree on everything. Let them become their own person and establish themself as an individual, as long as they do it in a safe way.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
πŸ”ΉYou’ve done your part to raise them into the human being they are, and at some point, once they are adults themselves, it will be time to take a step back and let them experience all that you’ve done your best to prepare them for.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
❔Are you experiencing emotions as your child grows that you didn’t expect to be faced with? The Yunion community is always here for you. Send us a message with any questions you may have as you navigate this new phase of parenting.
