Couldn't have said it better myself. Great message for back-to-school.

    Getting Involved is easier to say than do sometimes. Especially because at times it is unwanted. I have been called controlling, absent and a helicopter parent. I am a single dad who has little experience and really have leaned on Parenting Websites for help. I love this one and Dictionary For Dads the most. School and Family and Dictionary For Dads together have been an ongoing support for me. Thank You.. I struggle at being controlling and it is often due to anxiety and fear that I will make the wrong decisions as a parent. I have learned to accept my role as a parent need not be perfect only safe and consistent.
