Do expect that youll feel like youre on a yo-yointimate with your child one day, distant the next. As long as shes safe, dont invade her world.

“But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
And travelling often in the cut he makes,
Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
And all their botany is Latin names.
The old men studied magic in the flowers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
