Each year, on June 12th commemorates the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving vs. Virginia. This decision struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in sixteen U.S. states. The ruling cited, “There can be no doubt that restricting the freedom to marry solely because of racial classifications violates the central meaning of the equal protection clause.” In the United States, anti-miscegenation laws were U.S. state laws banning in*******al marriage. https://lovingday.org/

Don't make your child choose between their attachment with you and their authenticity. Both are physical and emotional needs for every human. 3 Ways to meet your child's need for both attachment and authenticity:
1. Co-regulation: Children learn how to calm down with a calm adult, until maturity. The more often a child experiences a nurturing presence in times of distress, the more easily they grow to nurture themselves and others.
2. Connection through Compassion: Instead of using shame to coerce a child into compliance, use empathy to connect a child into communicating, which will fulfill the needs for compassion and ultimately, cooperation. This represents a shift from "controlling a behavior" to "understanding the whole person"
3. Curiosity for Collaboration: What does your child need to feel safer in their body, and braver in their heart and head? We can listen to our children's feelings to help ease the overwhelm, and model the emotional skills that empower them.
