As a parent, the least you can do is never forget to allow your child to exercise the autonym they deserve. These words by Erik Erikson is for you to read and imbibe in yourself as a parent:
Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permission, but they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, almost somatic conviction that there is meaning in what they are doing.
– Erik Erikson
