Having a support system as a parent is such a huge plus point, and it's heartening to see you found that community! It really makes all the difference when you have people to rely on and share experiences with, especially during these challenging times with remote learning and COVID restrictions.

I also feel like I've navigated some rocky roads this year, but finding an online parenting community for support was definitely one of my ups. Being able to seek advice and share experiences has been so helpful - it's reassuring to know we're not alone in our struggles!

It's nice to have a place to celebrate the wins too, no matter how big or small they may seem. Congrats on finding your parent support crew, and here's to making it through another school term!
