Single, parent, child or otherwise, we all must struggle and learn how to pick ourselves back up - enlisting the help of others. Children should know it's ok to mess up - and more importantly - to take responsibility and learn and keep moving in life. Way to point out that even the most "perfect" families have a lot to teach themselves and others. And they are no worse for the wear if they take that vulnerable step towards help!

Thank you SO much for the honesty your post is bringing to our world. I'm mom to a 7yo girl on ADHD medication, who bit without provocation and is the sparkle and love of my life. We're only human which means we're nowhere near perfect!! Kudos to you. AMEN!!!! Thank you SO much for the honesty your post is bringing to our world.
