You won’t respond perfectly every time, and you don’t have to.😀
There will be moments when you’re tired, stretched thin, or carrying more than you realised. Moments when your voice is sharper than you meant it to be. Moments when you miss what your child was really asking for underneath the behaviour.🤔
What strengthens connection isn’t getting it right every time. It’s what you do after it went wrong.💫
It’s pausing.
It’s softening.
It’s taking responsibility without excuses.❤️🩹
“I’m sorry I shouted. I was feeling overwhelmed, but that wasn’t fair to you.”
When you come back and make things right, something important happens. Your child learns that hard moments don’t end relationships. Disappointment doesn’t equal disconnection. Big feelings don’t cancel love.👩👦
They learn that closeness can be rebuilt. That people can own their mistakes. That it’s safe to stay connected, even when things wobble.💞
Relationships don’t have to be perfect to be strong. They just need people who are willing to return, to listen, and to choose each other again.👨👩👦🦋
