Where can you find the poem that beginnings The hardest thing for a parent to know is when to hold on and when to let go?

Answer 1

My Mom cut this out of our local newspaper in the early 1960s. It was written by Peggy Ann Whitford:

DilemmaThe hardest thing for a parent

to know

Are when to hold on and when

to let go,

When to prohibit and when to

permit,

When to insist on and when to

omit,

When to stand firmly and when

to relent,

When to refuse and when to

consent,

When to keep children from

going to fast,

When to let go when they've grown up at last
