Great job reading the title.

Fantastic work cleaning up.

Thank you for helping Mom.

Keep trying!

These are all common phrases we tell our children.

It helps them learn and keeps them motivated to try new things.

It shows we believe they can do anything and everything they set their mind to.

To keep reading and having fun and failing without realizing it.

What happens when they get older?

Usually, it seems to stop.

Less praising.

Less supportiveness.

Less guidance to try again.

Less conversations about trying new things and failing.

It’s hard being a parent.

It’s easy to slack off and forget the past.

Keep showing your support and confidence in them.

Give them the freedom and option to try new things and fail.

Failure is not the end.

It’s the beginning of something else.

We all need someone in our corner.

We all need support.

Why not you?

What not their parent?

That’s all they need – the permission to try and the support of someone else.

Be that person now and for the rest of their life.

Parents exist to make a positive impact on the lives of our children.

To help them grow and become a better person.

Never forget how happy you both were when they said their first word or walked for the first time or said I love you mommy and daddy.

They’ll always be that little child who needs your support.

Never forget that.
