I Love How Freaking Fearless My Daughter Is

Things that rattle me to my core simply don’t bother her. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Aug. 1, 2023 DIVE IN [I Love How F*cking Fearless My Daughter Is]( I recently watched my kid jump off a diving board for the first time. I thought she’d get out there on the wobbly, bouncy end of that thing and then hesitate — because I’m afraid of heights and it’s exactly what I do, even now. Instead, she hurled herself right off. Moments like that are one of the true joys of parenting. And today, Samm Davidson is talking about watching her own daughter fly, in situations where she’s never been comfortable herself: “When I was a kid, separation from my mom, especially in a new environment, was always anxiety inducing.
