A couple weeks ago, while we were visiting family, my daughter got to have her first ever Nerf gun battle with her cousin. It was epic! She had so much fun. They even let her take a mini-nerf gun home with her.

Well, she was playing around with it when we got back to her grandparents house, and she accidentally shot somebody in the side of the head.

This week, I'm sharing this story as an example of what kids need when society would tell us they need consequences, and how you can help your own kids move through big emotions and regroup.
