“I guess the only advice I’d give to parents is to recognize that you’ll always have worries—that’s inevitable. But it’s important to step back and ask yourself, is this really something I need to be worried about? Some things truly deserve your concern, but others don’t require that much emotional energy. Learning to prioritize what matters can make a big difference.”
