Parenting is really hard!

21/8/2017

 
Dear parents,

I found this on my Facebook this morning - I didn't write it so I won't take credit for it, but I'll post it here for your edification/amusement.

How to be a parent in 2017:  Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, nutritional and social needs are met while being careful not to over stimulate, under stimulate, improperly medicate, helicopter or neglect them, in a screen-free, processed foods free, GMO free, negative energy free, plastic free, body positive, socially conscious, egalitarian but also authoritative, nurturing but fostering of independence, gentle but not overly permissive, pesticide free, multilingual home with 1.5 siblings spaced at least two years apart for proper development.

(or, you could just love them a lot and use your common sense!)
