The Value of Our Response
After 11 years with kids in the “System” and 5 years walking with the Amish, one truth has become undeniable:
The deepest trauma rarely comes from the behavior itself… it comes from the response to the behavior.
A parent’s response.
A sibling’s response.
A teacher’s, a pastor’s, a community’s response.
That moment of reaction doesn’t just correct behavior — it cements belief.
• When the response is shaming, harsh, or rejecting → the belief becomes, “I’m bad. I’ll never be enough.”
• When the response is steady, compassionate, and curious → the belief becomes, “I can grow. I’m still worthy. I’m loved.”
Psychologically, it’s the response that shapes the story we carry into adulthood — the story about who we are, what we’re worth, and whether we belong.
Our responses matter more than we think.
Because they don’t just end a moment… they echo for a lifetime.
*Is there a response you’ve experienced that caused a harmful belief about yourself? Please share🫶🏽
