Every time you stay calm during a meltdown

 Every time you stay calm during a meltdown

Every time you sit with your child’s big emotions instead of sending them away
Every time you choose connection over control

You are doing the healing you never got
You are building the kind of love you always needed
You are raising a child who won’t have to recover from their childhood

And I know it’s exhausting
I know it feels like no one sees you
But one day your child will

And they’ll say
I always felt safe with you
And that will make every hard moment worth it

You’re not failing
You’re doing something beautiful and brave

Keep going mama
You’re changing everything
