A friend recently pointed out that the humble brag

A friend recently pointed out that the humble brag is still bragging, and that it's a touch...well...obnoxious.

And let me tell you, I am 100% guilty. I share my kids' accomplishments and wins on social media. I talk about them with my friends and family. I'm loud and proud.

But here's the thing - my humble brag isn't coming from a "bragging" place at all. If anything, I want to share my relief and joy. And the truth. The truth of how much my kids have struggled and fought to be where they are - and the fact that, despite their accomplishments, they still struggle to find their foothold in all areas of their little lives.

Friendships. For my boys, making friends has been anything but easy. Connecting and clicking with peers seems so innocent and so natural. For my sons, it's been a struggle to find their place and their people throughout the years.

Sports. Finding the right fit, making the team, perfecting their performance. None of that has been second nature. So many kids are gifted with a natural, inherent athleticism and beautiful coordination. For us, it took a few years to catch up and a lot of hard work. It involved tears and pep talks and reassurances that just because you're not the best, doesn't mean you can't play, and play well.
