Parenting

I asked 11 parents what their biggest parenting regret is and every single one described something they said rather than something they did - and the consistency of that pattern suggests that children's ears are more precise instruments than parents realize - Silicon Canals

Parents' spoken words create lasting regrets more than their actions, with negative statements profoundly shaping children's self-perception and identity development.

I'm 66 and my two sons live twenty minutes away and I haven't seen either of them in six weeks - and the thing I can't explain to anyone is that the distance isn't geographic, it's that they've become polite with me, and polite is the furthest thing from close - Silicon Canals

Nobody tells you this can happen. They warn you about teenage rebellion, about empty nest syndrome, about your kids moving across the country. But nobody warns you that your kids can live in the same town and still feel a thousand miles away. The worst part? I did this. Not on purpose, not all at once, but slowly, over years of being the kind of father I thought I was supposed to be.
