Mothers and fathers often come at parenting from different angles, and sons and daughters usually have different needs too. And this is why both parents are equally important, and each bring unique, indispensable skills to the raising of happy and health children. Nobody is perfect, and whether in life, or parenting, all we can do is listen and learn from each other, to plug the gaps of our understanding, and lived experiences, and do the best we can. So, dear daughters and sons, what would you like to tell the world about how to raise girls and boys? What do you think? #parenting #dadsofinstagram #momssupportingmoms #girldad #boymom
