Just in time for college application season, here’s a good reminder from Julie Lythcott-Haims, fellow parent and author of How to Raise an Adult:
“Stop saying ‘we’ when you mean your kid. ‘We’ aren’t on the travel soccer team, ‘we’ aren’t doing the science project and ‘we’ aren’t applying to college. Our kid is. These are their efforts and achievements. We need to go get our own hobbies to brag about.”
