You feel it rising.
The frustration.
The reaction.
The words sitting right on the tip of your tongue.
Jody Hill says one of our greatest gifts as parents is learning to pause.
Not because we have to instantly know the perfect response—but because that pause gives us space to see what's actually happening.
Instead of reacting at our kids, we can get curious.
We can listen.
We can partner with them in figuring out what's underneath the moment.
You don't have to solve everything in the heat of the moment. Sometimes you can simply pause, take a breath, and choose connection. đź’›
