My kids fall down and I don’t say “you’re fine.”

Not because I don’t want them to be resilient. Because I don’t want to be the one who decides what their pain means before they’ve had a chance to.

My mom is a psychoanalyst. She’s spent her career with people who spent years learning not to trust their own instincts — because somewhere early on, someone else decided for them what their feelings should be. “You’re fine” is a small sentence. But said enough times, it teaches a kid to doubt what their own body just told them.

So when my kids get hurt, these are some of the things they hear instead.

They don’t need me to tell them they’re fine. They need me to believe them when they tell me they’re not.

Which one are you stealing for your house? ↓
