Children don't always understand our timeline, our level of patience (or impatience), our emotional state. These are skills of awareness they're still working on developing. This can lead to moments of dysregulation that surprise us or catch us off guard and not always in our best frame of mind.
When we can acknowledge behavior is a form of communication, we can respond with compassion and curiosity. I believe this quote and sentiment are equally valid for the adults in our lives as well. Finding connection can feel vulnerable and uncertain. An abundance of grace for ourselves, our children and those around us each day can lead to a greater understanding of our shared human experience.
