My kids are 14 and 16 and guess what?
They take more time than they did when they were 8 and 6.
Their lives are bigger, sports are bigger (read: enormous) and their problems are bigger. They need more support, have more conversations and take more strategy than they did when “they were younger”.
The number one reason I hear clinicians delay doing something for themselves or for their career is that their kids are too young.
What they mean is that parenting is hard and it takes a lot of time.
I’m here, from a few years older than many of you to say it doesn’t get less time demanding. If you’re procrastinating on your career/life, you will procrastinate when they are older too.
I opened my clinic when the kids were 1 and 3. They were too young. AND if I tried to open it this year, I’d actually have less time to do it than I did then.
Love notes from 20 years post graduation ❤️.
Take what you need.
