This one is about what connection actually looks like in real life —
not in calm moments, but in the messy ones.
The outbursts.
The shutdowns.
The power struggles that sneak up on us.
Instead of focusing on how a child should respond, this lesson stays with what we can hold steady as the adult — our pace, tone, presence, and internal state.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- “Am I making this worse?”
- “Should I be doing more right now?”
- “Why does connection feel harder when I care the most?”
You’re not alone — and this lesson is for you.
💬 If you feel like sharing:
Which moment feels hardest in your home right now — big emotions, quiet withdrawal, or power struggles?
No fixing. Just noticing.
