My teen daughter is spending more time in her room and less time on the couch with her family, and it's hard. So, last night I knocked on her door and brought in some snacks. I sat down on her bed beside her and we talked for an hour about her weekend and Netflix and what she had coming up in school. And before I wore out my welcome, I gathered our trash and left--but I felt so good about that time we spent togteher.
It reminded me again to meet our teens where they are at, not where we want them to be.
having the privilege to pursue your education while there are thousands of women and girls denied the access to basic education only to degrade yourself for male validation. we will never know peace
