As a fellow parent of a kid whose brain does cartwheels at 9 p.m., this hit home. Sometimes the real reset isn’t ‘get back in bed,’ it is ‘pull up a chair and grab a pencil.’ Love how you turn connection into calm.

I appreciate it! As parents, some of this stuff just isn’t talked about enough! I am sure somewhere, someone might be rolling their eyes at this strategy, but my son needs it and loves it.

Love this! These are such wonderful core memories for him of love and connection with you, he doesn’t realize the life skills you’re showing him (and how much they heal us too!) ❤️

The healing required sometimes to figure out a new path forward that differs from the way you were raised is not written or discussed enough! I appreciate you naming it.
