A short YouTube monologue by Jacqueline Elliott (uploaded under the same name) advising parents that their primary job is to keep their child safe, while balancing safety with allowing children to open up. The speaker reflects on past overly strict approaches, stresses unconditional love even when disciplining, and promises superior parental love and forgiveness despite consequences for misbehavior.

My job is to keep you safe above all things. Now, if you can be happy and safe, I'm all for that. But if I have to jeopardize your safety to keep you happy, help me out. Yes. I'm not doing that 100%. There's a balance also in that as well, because you do want your child to be able to open up. Yes. To you if they have problems. There was a time where I was a little too, like, hey, you know what? You got to do this, and this is the only way to do it. That they felt like they couldn't mess up, and I wasn't relatable. I'm gonna love you no matter what you do. I'm gonna forgive you no matter what you do. But you're still gonna get in trouble. So you're still not going to like my answer, but it's never going to affect how much I love you and care for you, and then that's never going to change. I'm going to love you more than anybody else loves you in the whole entire world. I guarantee you that. Nobody's going to love you more than I do.
