The first 7 years, you should love your child. The second 7 years, you should educate them. The third 7 years, you’ve got to be their best friend. Then, set them free and pray that they will be fine.

Love your child for the first 7 years, educate them in the next 7, and be their best friend in the third 7. After that, set them free and hope they thrive. Parenting is about guiding, supporting, and letting go at the right time.
