You can’t awaken someone who’s pretending to sleep. And you can’t lull a child who’s already asleep. Parenting isn’t in the easy moments—it’s in sitting beside your child when they’re restless, overwhelmed, or simply not okay. Not to fix, not to control, but to be with them in their storm. That’s the real test.
