The next generation

As my kid is nearer to starting school for the first time later on this year my thoughts often turn to 'what will his path lead him to?' The wonderment of youth; will he get on at school, make friends, enemies, be sociable, continue to strive for what he believes in, have principles, be confident...? The list goes on, I think all I can wish for that we as parents teach him as best as we can, be there when he needs us and more importantly continue to provide him with whatever he needs (within moderation!).
