Addressing and validating your child’s emotions is SO important. They may be upset over something that seems silly to us but to them, it’s big. Of course they have moments where their emotions are just too big for them to handle and in those moments they really just need us to be there with them. ❤️

Every strength has a corresponding
challenge and every challenge has
a corresponding strength.
The inattentive child may be a deep thinker.
The uncooperative child may be a natural leader.
The emotionally-charged child may be gifted with
exceptional empathy. The rule-defying child
may be an out-of-the-box innovator.
When faced with challenging behaviors,
look for the corresponding strength
and focus on nurturing that gift while
providing gentle guidance and coping
skills for the challenging areas.
That is the essence of working with,
instead of against, our children.
