That desire to prevent our kids from feeling hard things can be so real. The thing is though, they *will* experience hard things and so rather than trying to prevent that from happening, we can support them with the skills to navigate those things. This starts with the small stuff...when they’re sad at drop-off, when they’re disappointed with the choice for snack, when they’re frustrated that their block tower fell. These feel small to us, but they’re big to them and they’re all opportunities for building skills to process hard emotions and experiences. Wondering what this might look like in practice?
