GeneralDear Parents,
The mole found a baby bird who fell out of his nest, and waited for his mom to put him back. But, mole decided to take care of him because his mom never showed up, so he fed him and took care of him and built a cage for him, thinking the baby bird will feel comfortable in it. When mole realized that the bird’s comfort is his freedom, he released the bird despite of the difficulty of separation.
Our children are like the baby bird, as they grow their need to be independent in some things increases as well. Sometimes it is hard for us – as parents – to release them. We prefer to protect and to keep them with us. But, they need to experience life, gain experiences and to believe in their abilities. Our most difficult mission, as parents, is to know when to support and encourage and when to release them to face life alone.
