This is a good phase right now. He's very independent. But I like it when I can help him with something, whether it's advice or he needs a new mattress!
I want him to be able to do what he wants to do with his life, have the freedom to make his own choices, and surround himself with a loving, supportive community.
I've learned a lot. Beck doesn't hide anything. And I feel very comfortable talking to anyone whose kid is just beginning the transition process. Parents need to educate themselves.
It's natural to have fears about your kids, no matter what. But in this case, Beck is in a great place in his life. I give him the room to run, and I just really try to watch.
