Rooted

“There are two things we should give our children, one is roots and the other is wings.”

Sometimes, my daughter comes to me with a problem, I’m quick to offer the solution. In my mind, I think, this is an easy fix, do this. Then proceed to tell her what to do.

Her frustration is evident when she reminds me that I haven’t listened at all. She tells me,“I just want to be heard.”

Still struggle to let go and let them find out on their own.
