“Motherhood has taught me that, most of the time, my job is to give them the space to explore and develop into the people they want to be. Not who I want them to be or who I wish I was at that age, but who they are, deep inside,” she said. “Motherhood has also taught me that my job is not to bulldoze a path for them in an effort to eliminate all possible adversity. But instead, I need to be a safe and consistent place for them to land when they inevitably fail; and to show them, again and again, how to get up on their own.”

It's not terrible advice. Why does everyone feel the need to throw hate on a simple parenting quote? Are you all turning into Liberals?

It's pedantic, tiresome and trite, hardly worthy of leaving one "speechless."
