Your child is not your child. Although they are with you, they don't belong to you. Indeed, true love is to let children learn to be independent and parents learn to let go. This is the most precious wealth of children.
Let the child's soul and thoughts be independent, and he can become his true self. Only by maintaining relative independence and mutual respect can beautiful flowers bloom in the nutrients of their lives and bear fruitful fruits.
