I Hear You

Offering empathy to your children is the greatest gift of all. You can do this best by being present and as hard as it is, holding back your ideas, comments or attempts to fix.

A simple way to offer empathy, to show you’re listening and you really understand how they feel is to say to your child, simply, “I Hear You.”

Try it. And then be quiet. Just that. See what shifts in that space there.
