@nextchapterparenting: Nobody told me the hardest sound of 17 to 19 would be packing tape. He isn't leaving me. He's leaving to find out if he can stand, and I want him to know I think he can. What helps at our house: sit on the floor, open the numbers together, then let him run them. What's the hardest part of this age for you? #parentingteens #teenboys #raisingboys #boymom
