Do You Have Empathy for Your Kids?
Our job is to hold the boundary, but we also get to allow our children to have feelings about that boundary. Honoring their feelings doesn't mean i become this permissive, anything goes parent. There's a difference between feelings and behaviours,. But embodying our authority isn't enough in any parenting approach. We're also validating feelings by letting one kid let me know they are mad at us. That's really terrifying for a kid who feels not real and not feeling like their feelings arrere being noticed. And you caun understand, because that's literally why i lie, exactly. I lie to preserve attachment, isay, people to think different of me.
