A FOCUS FOR PARENTS:

One of our responsibilities as parents is to become independent of our children.

How specifically can we support our children? We want them to feel nurtured and valued. We want to support them in learning how to provide for themselves.

"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings."

Ways to support your children, even though they are independent.... Support them with your prayers, your love, and your friendship.
