Text exchange with my 8th grader.

Them: just failed a test but to be fair it was nothing like the study guide and she didn’t teach us half of what is on it

Me: Did you do your best?

Them: yeah

Me: Then that’s the best you can do.
Thank you for letting me know. 🧡

The best we can do is the best we can do.

Learning to be honest with ourself about what our best actually is - that’s the real opportunity.

This is the best way I know how to parent. To teach my kids to do their best, what ever that means in the moment, and to trust themselves.
