The Voice in Their Heads

As parents, we all know that we are raising our children to leave us. Our ultimate goal is to raise capable, independent adults with the smarts and good judgment to go out and make it in the world on their own. We watch them go, hoping that we have done our job and taught them well. As Perri Class, MD explains so beautifully in this New York Times article, we hope that our children “hear our voices, even when we aren’t there.”
