Most of us who find ourselves on the peaceful, respectful, gentle parenting path didn't get here on accident. I'm no different; I saw myself getting angry at my toddler, labeling him as defiant and feeling a "need"… https://t.co/0XSSB5Rv26

Just 1 day shy of 11 months old. Omg. The sweetness. Patting her baby. Is she "nursing"? She has been doing this for a bit. She got interrupted and went straight back to it. My heart might burst. 🥰🤗💗 https://t.co/u03YiDiOtb

@akwittenauer @brithume So many resources are needed to provide distance learning. Laptops or iPads for every child in our district! Free wifi to families who don't have it. Tons of printed materials too.

We can ALL do something! Raise your babies to believe their worth, to believe their voice matters, and that others deserve the same a acknowledgement and respect. Grow that deep respect and empathy in their hearts… https://t.co/eIP4ojvWOS

[Sami Bell @SUREparenting]

What can I do? I can empathize. Listen to anyone who needs to be heard. I can't pretend to understand it all but I can get behind an evidence based organization with REAL potential solutions and ideas. Lots of them.… https://t.co/0q5oJSOWSP

If you can't hold the boundary, the environment needs to; but don't expect a toddler to hold their own boundaries. #sureparenting #respectfulparenting #empathic
