We have to give our kids enough space to be independent, make mistakes, and then grow from them. We also have to protect our kids from the dangers of the world, both real and sometimes imagined. And we have to do all of that at a time when more and more of society seems to be remarkably unfriendly to families, children, and their needs.

Being a mom means limits exist. We are limited - in our capacity, with the boundaries we set, with the “yes’s” and “no’s” we have to give.
