How many times have we mistaken a child's behavior for "bad behavior" when it was really a cry for connection?
I recently caught myself doing exactly that.
She yelled. I yelled back.
Later, I realized something that stayed with me: She wasn't trying to make my life difficult. She was trying to tell me something in the only way she knew.
As parents, we won't always get it right. I certainly don't.
But every conflict gives us a choice: React... or get curious.
Sometimes, the biggest shift in parenting doesn't happen in our child. It happens in us.
