3 reminders for mums
before Results Day
1. They're your child's results,
not yours.
You don't need to carry the weight
of every grade.
2. Don't make the first question,
"What did you get?"
Make it, "How are you feeling?"
3. Whatever the data says,
your child is the same person they
were five minutes before they
opened it.
Love first. Results second.
