Fundamentals that hold true across the ages and stages:

For our kids, these writers encourage us to:

• Support their emotions
• Respect their space/bodies
• Trust their intentions /ideas/abilities
• Let them climb, let them fall
• Share their journey
• Maintain expectations (boundaries) with love and support

And similarly, for ourselves, they encourage us to:

• Be aware of our own emotions
• Respect our own space/body
• Trust our own intentions/ideas/abilities
• Take some risks, understand that sometimes we will fall
• Know that this is our journey, too
• Accept and honor our own expectations
