Episode notes

This chapter explores the importance of recognizing and nurturing the inherent goodness in our children, despite witnessing negative behaviors. The speaker emphasizes the role of parents in helping children manage barriers to kindness and addressing underlying emotions like shame for them to embrace their innate goodness.

It’s easy to forget it when you see them hitting a sibling. Or when you catch them in a lie. When you hear them say something mean. When the call comes in from school, or worse, the police station.

It’s easy to forget that our kids are good. That they have good morals. A good heart. That they are still that same innocent and pure little thing we brought home from the hospital. It’s easy to forget because we’re so worried, so worried that our sweet innocent and pure thing will end up like most of the people we meet in life–which is to say not so innocent and pure.
