And wise words from Sara:

 

Here are three steps you can take to show your child EMPATHY:

1) Get on their level- physically.  Speak to them eye to eye so you're not looking down to them when you're talking

2) Validate their emotions- refrain from using phrases like "don't cry". Let them cry. It's okay for your child to be upset. Validate their feelings by saying, "I know that you're feeling really upset right now. That's okay. I'm here for you"

3) When your child is hurt by the other parent's actions, you can tell them: "Mommy and Daddy love you very much. We do not mean to hurt your feelings and we are sorry that your feelings got hurt. Thank you for letting me know and I will make sure we do better."
