As a parent, you are in the driver’s seat and your children are passengers. This means that you are “in charge” of what happens with your children and you can help them reach their goals.
Your support system is your family members, teachers, perhaps a friend or neighbor. They help you with advice, and support.
But only you (and your partner) are driving the car!
