If you can stand to be around kids (and not everyone can) never forget that a smidgen of kindness or simple listening from you can make a difference in a child's life. You never know what you'll do/say that will stick with them, so do your best.

Every parent has the basic human right to fuck up and make mistakes, so let's not be too hard on ourselves, just keep on forgiving ourselves our mistakes and learning from them.
