One of the Instagrammers I follow, asked what new year’s resolutions his followers had for 2019. I rarely have new year’s resolutions as I believe it is better to do it whatever you want when you become conscious about what at you want change, independent of what day of the year it is.

But I told him that one thing I need to become better at, is to stop projecting my fears for my children. This fear results in an endless nagging competition. Instead I need to shut up and let them do it their way and maybe learn from their misstakes. Which of course they will do. And that is OK.

For your information I am practising this resolution as I write. And it is hard. So hard.
