In the realm of relationships, our choices and actions can be driven by two fundamental emotions: love or fear. While fear may seem like a natural response to protect ourselves, operating from a place of love can have a transformative impact on our relationships. By consciously choosing love over fear, we can nurture healthy connections, foster growth, and create a harmonious environment for love to flourish.

Also!

How to know another person’s experience is valid even if you don’t understand it, or it hasn’t been your experience:

1. They experienced it.
2. You didn’t.

Like all of you, those of us here at TGI are watching worldwide events unfold. It's a time of extreme uncertainty and stress for many, and emotions are running extraordinarily high. It's OK to feel many things at once, including uncertainty about what the future holds. We join those calling for peace in Ukraine.

When your child is struggling, how do you respond?

You may be tempted to put a Band-Aid on the situation, but well-meaning statements like "Don't be upset" or "Cheer up!" are often counterproductive and can make your child feel alone or ashamed.

Instead, try empathizing with your young one by stepping into their world. Relate to them and validate their emotions. This could sound like "I'm sorry you're feeling discouraged. I remember feeling the same way when I was your age. Tell me more about this."

Empathy leads to empowerment. When your child knows you hear and understand them, they're more likely to communicate with you. Your relationship will be enriched.
