“quote from Dr. Dan Siegel: “The best predictor of a child’s well-being is the parent’s self-understanding.” What this means is that when we understand why we are so reactive—what old patterns and wounds are being triggered for us—we can begin to heal and choose a different way of being, rather than repeating dysfunctional family patterns. We can have a chance to refrain from unwittingly passing this baggage onto our kids.”

“If you make your body seem less threatening, and speak in a calmer voice instead of yelling, you’ll have a less-stressed child—and you’ll get more cooperation.”

“A parent’s love for their child is bottomless. Their children remain children, no matter how old they grow.”
