Today, Jamilah (Slate's Mom and Dad Are Fighting) explains how her 6 year old has taught her patience she never thought was possible. She also reflects on the importance of being vulnerable and open with our children, and owning up to our mistakes, in order to help them cultivate those qualities within themselves.

“It’s not enough to simply say my child is well-fed or well dressed or goes to a good school. We have to think about nurturing their spirits."
