Believe your kids.
Believe them when they tell you they're scared or they're hurting. Believe them when they tell you they don't think they can do hard things.
No, a kid's feelings are not always factually accurate. But when a child tells you how they feel about something, they're not asking for you to become an investigator. They're not asking if they're factually correct.
They're asking if you'll stand in the discomfort with them...so they don't have to be alone.
Choose belief and connection first.
Choose correction later.
