A conversation with a mom reminded me that while most of us feel we are too hard on our kids at times…
We often don’t realize that we can also be too hard on ourselves.
In fact, we’re probably more critical of ourselves than we are of them.
Even though helping our kids with college admissions is a “second job” for most...
We always worry we’re not doing enough to create the best opportunities for them.
But just like none of our kids are perfect…
We will never be either.
And that’s okay.
What truly matters is that we love and care enough to take action.
In 10 years our kids may not even remember any mistakes we made with their applications.
But they will remember that we were there for them.
That’s one of the greatest gifts we can give them.
If you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious about their future, take this chance to breathe, step back, and remind yourself you’re doing your best.
That’s all you can truly do.
To your child’s success,
