"Don't beat yourself up about mistakes you've made; there are plenty of other people in this world who will be more than happy to do it for you."
Years ago, another parent shared those words with me and they have carried me through many moments when I have felt like I wasn't doing anything right for Jonathon, or our daughter, Lindsey, for that matter.
Everyone has those days when they feel like the World's Worst Mom or Dad award winner. I would like to pass my friend's advice on to other parents but I would like to add to it... When you're feeling like the World's Worst Mom or Dad award is about to be bestowed upon you... make an extra donation to your child's therapy fund! It erases all your mistakes!
