So often we only consider the outside…and make assumptions.

When we consider that our very own child has a story-experiences that make them who they are-we can begin to look beneath the surface of what we tend to call “misbehavior” or “disobedience”.

Although not all of our child’s behaviors are acceptable, their feelings and experiences are part of their story. Our compassion over their pain can help us consider them as a whole person and not just a product of their behavior.
