Sparkler Parents are right there in the moment with our children.  This is whether the situation is fun, sad, happy, angry, silly.  Not everything is going to work out the way we want it to.  We know this is true, but do we always create the space for our children to feel the sadness or do we sometimes try to rush them back to happy? Being aware of what we as parents have as levels of tolerance for different emotions will help use create space for our own children to grow their tolerance too.
