"Do you believe that the children you love generally have good intentions?" 🔥 such a game changing question. I started believing they do years before I had kids, but I still have to remind myself after years of messaging telling me that kids were trying to be defiant every time their behaviour feels difficult.
It’s such a paradigm shift. It can easily feel like children are purposely being difficult and inflexible. Ironically, sometimes we as adults are being equally difficult and inflexible 😂 early on, I had to repeat to myself that my son was having a hard time, not giving me a hard time. (Although, both are kind of true...he’s giving me a hard time BECAUSE HE’S HAVING a hard time might be more accurate?)

100% I have said the same thing to myself SO many times.
