I am reading "How to talk so kids will listen..." - I agree that the first chapter is gold. I'm slowly making my way through that next chapter. We are always quick to deny, soothe as parents because we feel it's our responsibility to protect. But really, the real key is acknowledging that their feelings are valid.
Thank you for sharing Mary Oliver and for being so candid in your newsletters.

Yes! I agree we deny emotions in our desire to protect. So well said, Stef.

Love what you said about negativity and empathy.
