Now is the time to step back from your baby girl's life.

You’ve raised and taught her well, but she’s formed her own ideas.

Now is the time for parenting with love rather than parenting with disappointment.

Receiving an “I’m proud of you” is plenty more powerful than an “I'm disappointed” 

when that B- on her math test dropped her spirits and GPA.

Now is the time to support her through downfalls, hardships, and mistakes 

Rather than lecture her for making them.

She won’t forget the smell of your love wafting through the air in the form of brownies as she ran into the house from the big yellow school bus.

But the ear-piercing, late-night arguments fade the memories of your rosy-smiling cheeks.

She will confide in you in the future if you reset your role today.

Now is the time to hold her close before she leaves the nest.
