On apples and trees

Turning into your mother can be a joy and a trial. #DearDaughter

Turning into your mother can be a joy and a trial. When Jacinta in Johannesburg became a parent, she found that her perspective on her own mother changed completely. She reads a letter to her young daughters about what they can learn from older generations after realising 鈥渢he apple doesn鈥檛 fall far from the tree鈥�. Plus, how to avoid telling your children that they鈥檒l only understand things when they get older.
Letter writer: Jacinta
