“What this is, is an example of how we as mothers have to be able to not just pass the baton, but to be able to give free reign for your daughter to grow, to make mistakes. Doesn’t mean they’re not watched. But, it means that they’re honored. You watch them [become individuals], you watch them fight you. That’s what being a mother is also, is witnessing. Just be there. You don’t always have to power over. I believe that this is one of the most important things as a parent you can do—to let go, in times, so these children can formulate their own identity.”
-Goldie Hawn, actress, director, producer, and mother to Kate, Wyatt, and Oliver, to Huffington Post, December 2017
