Letting go of control is definitely in the top three hardest things about being a parent. At least for now I control mostly what my kids wear and eat, when and how much they sleep, what they watch on tv, the language and music they hear and the things they learn, but every now and then I have to let go.
Jack, for instance, loves making messes - today he reached and whined and sprinted for this puddle repeatedly until finally I let him have at it, and what do you know... It was super rewarding for all parties involved. I should probably let go in the mess department a little more often.
