"Focussing on being my child's partner is helping me to place my real life children front and centre of my attention and to think deeply and respond kindly and appropriately to their particular needs in this particular moment."

Dear Ms. Sandra,
I read your posts almost every day—thank you for sharing your ideas & experiences, and for the invitation to consider another perspective. 💝
I just love this post and the other posts I read through when I clicked the link to “…/seeing…” at the bottom.
I’m letting the ideas of being my child’s partner & also anticipating his needs & being proactive wash over me. It seems I was more conscientious of this when he was in the womb & when he was a baby & toddler. Henry’s five now & I think I kind-of do this & reading your post is causing me to pause, reflect, and be more intentional. What a gift you & the other parents have given in sharing these ideas and your experiences.
“Think deeply, respond kindly” — gosh is this good. 💗
With love and gratitude,
Rebecca
