In order to soar like eagles, your teen daughter must leave the nest. Pushing her out of the nest let's her test her wings. Bruising may occur, but staying close allows you to swoop in to provide guidance and care if needed. One day she won't need your help so enjoy this transition to flight. #teenagedaughter #transition #guidance #parienting #advice

Daughter Addison and me during her first year as a University of South Carolina Gamecock Carolina Girl Dancer. A challenging, but successful year in terms of parenting. Cutting the umbilical cord let her flourish as an independent adult who still is somewhat dependent emotionally, directionally, and definitely financially. #collegerelationshi #parenting #teen #teenagedaughter #teenager #parentingadvice #advice #parentalguidance
