Quote by Malcolm Stevenson Forbes

Let your children go if you want to keep them.

Let your children go if you want to keep them.

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes, in order to truly care for and protect our children, we have to set them free and give them the space to grow and develop on their own. It emphasizes the importance of allowing children to be independent and make their own choices, even if it may be difficult for parents to watch their children navigate their own paths. By letting go, parents can create a healthier environment for their children to thrive and become self-reliant individuals.
