I saw a TikTok last week where a child breaks a coffee mug and the dad essentially says "that was my favorite mug! I had a lot of good memories with that mug. But it's ok, i love you more than any mug and I know it was an accident!" and I guess I just think that that is a microcosm of parenting as a whole. Patience. Slow to anger. Clear communication. Understanding. Grace. All things I need to be much better at.
