My child is having a hard time.”*Keep in mind that it’s their crisis, not yours. Be their calm place, their safe space, their home base. When little people are overwhelmed with big emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not join their chaos. Remember, you’re the only adult in the relationship. They’re learning how to be a grown up by watching you act like a grown up.-L.R.Knost__________________________________📚Peaceful Parenting Resources: t.co/T8goym3P6Z 📚__________________________________Please respect the work of authors, photographers, and artists.
