Sometimes we forget and sometimes we try too hard to cut corners for them because it all has been done before.....by us we think. :) <br /><br />But, we can't.... as much as it is such an emotional, spiritual, physical difficult stretching process and our intent for the most part is to help alleviate the growing pains, we do more damage if we don't recognize it as normal and needed. it reminds me of the butterfly story....and the need for it to break out of its cocoon on its own. If we help it too much it won't gain the nutrients it needs to develop.<br /><br />Not that we leave our teens be though either. Our moral, emotional and spiritual guidance is so very needed.
