Gentle parenting is the long game. Your kids are still learning how to be people much less be good people. But if you pay attention, you’ll see glimpses of all the effort paying off. All those times you didn’t lose your mind and all those times you did and apologized. They all add up to moments like this. And next time she will forget and yell in the car and I might mess up again. But it is working. Slowly. It’s supposed to work slowly. But it’s working and that’s the important part. #mommacusses #gentleparent #responsiveparenting #apology
