I really appreciate this perspective, Megan. It feels like one of those parenting tightrope walks—offering just enough of ourselves to be useful, to open the door to connection, to let our kids see and be seen... but not so much that it puts the emotional weight on their shoulders. I’m always trying to walk that line, and I’m incredibly grateful for your insight here.

It’s a balancing act for sure 💕
Reading this makes me excited to have an adolescent. It’s really empowering! I know in a few years I’ll come back and read this again and again.
