Being a parent is a wonderful experience, but also a bewildering one. I have two children, and although I try to give them the best of myself, I often feel that I'm not raising them with the same confidence and ease that my parents had when they raised me. They seemed to know exactly how to do it: what limits to set, what freedoms to give, what values ​​to instill. I, on the other hand, have many more doubts.

I often tell myself, "Everything passes." It helps me to remember that nothing lasts forever, neither the good nor the bad. I try to let the bad things take up less of my time, and I live the good things fully. I also realize that many of the things that worry or bother me now are the same things I'll miss later on.
