Hands On As We Grow

You are amazing.

Published 6 days ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader!

I think it's fun to give a shout out to people that deserve it:

...to some amazing women and men who do amazing things every day.

...to YOU.

That's right: YOU ARE AMAZING.

You don't get enough credit for all the things you do. Whether you get to "all the things" on your list or not.

Do you know how I know that you're amazing?

I'll give you three reasons.

  1. You subscribe to a blog such as Hands On As We Grow® (and probably many others) that help you be a better parent by taking an active role in your child's growth.
  2. You care an awful lot about your kids. (I know this because of #1.) I know this sounds like a duh, of course statement, but a lot of kids out there don't have a parent who cares like you do. You go above and beyond by creating special childhood moments, creating a bond; and if you're not quite there to doing that yet, you're on your way and trying. THAT is amazing.
  3. You are a mom. You are a dad. You are a grandparent. Period.

That's all - I just want to give you some props to start your new year off right and thank you... for being you. Keep it up!
