He'll only be home with us for four more years and then off to college he goes. It's incomprehensible to me on so many levels, not the least of which is being able to see him as someone who is capable of making this big transition.
Don't get me wrong, as his mom, I'm his biggest fan, but I've also got a front row seat to all the areas where he still needs development to be ready.
Ever felt like this in the office? You're behind your team 100%, but as their manager you also know better than anyone where each of them still needs to work on their development.
The risk in both cases is continuing to see an individual as they were rather than who they are. None of us is ever done with development. Ever. But, we can work to get ourselves to the point where we're ready to move on, and we need the people around us to recognize the growth and support us as we make the shift.
My litle boy is growing up. In a few years he'll leave the nest. I miss him already.
