Our job is not to.
Make our kid happy.
When we make.
Our kid happy, what we actually say to them is, I.
Am just.
As scared of.
This emotion you're feeling as you are.
You actually set a kid up for.
An adulthood of.
Anxiety because they have.
A range of.
Emotions that.
They'Ve encoded as wrong and fearful. And we want to help kids become resilient. And resilience comes from being able to.
Tolerate and sit with the widest range of emotions.
