I had to learn to honor their emotions (all of them) and allow them the space to express themselves safely and freely even when it wasn’t “good timing” or the ideal way for my world.
So much of my life is “go, go, go,” but when o So much of my life is “go, go, go,” but when one of my children is sick or fussy or sad, I am forced to slow down. I’m grateful for these moments. These quiet moments.
