QUOTES
“Finding the good inside can often come from asking ourselves one simple question: “What is my most generous interpretation of what just happened?”
“Now you have your job description: keep your child safe, emotionally and physically, using boundaries, validation, and empathy.”
“Building resilience is about developing the capacity to tolerate distress, to stay in and with a tough, challenging moment, to find our footing and our goodness even when we don’t have confirmation of achievement or pending success.”
