I loved this reminder about seeing the forest for the trees. So simple and obvious but as you say, it’s easy to get caught up in the details of a daily issue and forget things like, in the big picture, I have before me a lovely, lovable, kind, sensitive young man who’s trying to do his best and wants to do right. I sometimes forget that (even though others keep telling me!).
This perspective is so on target, Jennifer. I wish I could go back to my former self and tell her to quit worrying about all of the things that I thought could go wrong in the moment. Maintaining connections with parents of kids slightly older than the ones we're preoccupied with is great advice!

We all need others to remind us. Me too!
