January 29, 2025 - 10:30
Koraly Dimitriadis reflects on her journey as a parent, particularly as her daughter reaches the milestone age of 18. Having experienced a strict upbringing herself, Dimitriadis made a conscious decision to provide her daughter with a more liberal and independent childhood. This choice, while rooted in love and a desire for her daughter to thrive, has left her feeling a mix of pride and anxiety as her child steps into adulthood.
Dimitriadis allowed her daughter the freedom to explore her interests and make her own decisions, fostering a sense of autonomy that she believes is essential for personal growth. However, as her daughter prepares to navigate the complexities of adult life, Dimitriadis finds herself grappling with concerns about the challenges that independence brings.
The transition into adulthood is a significant period for both parents and children, filled with excitement and uncertainty. As her daughter embarks on this new chapter, Dimitriadis hopes that the foundation of trust and independence they built together will guide her through the journey ahead.
