It’s not a fix-all. It’s not a shortcut. But it’s powerful in its simplicity—and over time, it helped me build the kind of relationship with my kids that can withstand mistakes and keep connection alive.

If you’re a parent (or love someone who is), I invite you to read it. And if it resonates, share it with someone who needs a little hope today.
