Parenthood is an absolute marathon! When we run a marathon, what should we never do? It is true! We should never try to sprint the whole way, right? It's crazy to think that we could sprint everything. We have to adapt to a marathon.

However, unlike true marathon runners who fade with age as their muscles wear down, many of our parent muscles tend to improve with age. With a lot of equivalent experience, we can see our hard work in making our children wonderful people.
Now, as my grandfather always said, “Go learn, lead and prepare the way for a better world for all of us. Stop trying to sprint. And stop sweating so many little things. that parenting is a marathon, so pick up your pace and enjoy it because at some point it's gonna get really good. And once again parents, thank you in advance for everything you do, and everything you do. you will do ...
