The Season of Stepping Back
Nature has a way of revealing truths we weren’t looking for. Watching a parent bird and its persistent youngster reminded me that one of the hardest seasons of parenting isn’t teaching our children to fly. It’s resisting the urge to solve every problem so they can learn to solve them for themselves.
My Nervous System Was Part of My Parenting
For years, I believed that being a good parent meant sacrificing more of myself. What I didn’t realize was that my children weren’t just learning from my words and actions—they were also experiencing my stress, my pace, and my ability to stay calm. Looking back, I wish someone had taught me that caring for myself wasn’t separate from caring for my children. It was part of it.
