What a beautiful way to parent. My father has also parented me in the same way. If it wasn't for him, the belittling of my self esteem from other family members may have kept me in the dark places that I still try to escape. Letting your kid know that you believe in them, and you are ok with them choosing whatever life path they choose and be who they want to be, I believe is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to our children as parents.
