FlashFrost+FollowNavigating the Milestone: My Daughter’s Wish for a Friends-Only 13th Birthday Camping TripWhen my daughter told me she wanted her 13th birthday to be a camping trip with just her friends, my heart felt a mix of pride and nostalgia. Watching her step into her teenage years, eager for independence, is both beautiful and bittersweet. I remember when she needed me to zip up her sleeping bag, and now she’s planning adventures with her own circle. It’s a reminder that parenting is a journey of letting go, little by little, while cheering them on from the sidelines. Have you experienced a similar milestone with your child?
