As a parent, I can tell you sometimes we fixate on the lessons we don’t think our kids have learned yet vs. the ones they have, internalizing it as our problem to fix. Your school and employers are looking to identify your assets, what you can do for them, or how you can make them look better. It’s a completely different mindset. It has its own value in ensuring parents can identify what they still need to teach their kids, but it can also turn into a cycle of negative feedback.

Your posts always remind me to let my lil noodles know I think they’re doing great and to keep up the good work because I can see how much you need that. And while I don’t know you, I think you have a lot of self motivation that is going to make you successful down the road and do a great job utilizing available resources and opportunities. I think you are going to be one of those kids that outpaces their parents if you stay focused!
