@modern.parenting: He may forget the teacher's name. He may forget the laugh in that classroom. He may even forget what the essay said. But he will not forget his grandpa folding it into his wallet. Your son doesn't need you to win every fight at school for him. He needs to see that one opinion in the room is not the only one that counts. Read what he writes. Show it to the person it's for. Let him watch it land. #Parenting #Fatherhood #FatherSon #RaisingBoys #TeenBoys
