“Finally, remember that it's not your job to keep your kids happy. Big emotions don't need to be fixed, they need to be felt. Children need to learn that there's nothing wrong with feeling sad or mad or embarrassed or confused and that eventually those feelings will pass. If you can't tolerated their meltdown, they won't be able to either. It all starts with you, so saddle up and get ready.”

“The angers between women will not kill us if we can articulate them with precision, if we listen to the content of what is said with at least as much intensity as we defend ourselves agains the manner of saying.

I have tried to learn my anger's usefulness to me, as well as its limitations.”
