Parenting 101

you do your best
forget the rest

no place for regrets
remorse it only begets

children are willing to forgive
to find harmony live and let live

parents admit they’re just human
omniscience just an illusion

My Mom always said, "Children don't come with a manual." Well penned.

"omniscience just an illusion" - for teachers as well as parents, but for some children it takes much longer than others.
