My mama heart aches for all the parents of the precious children who are no longer with us, or who are still missing because of the devastating floods at Camp Mystic.

I can’t begin to imagine the depth of your pain, the weight of the waiting, or the ache of unanswered prayers. As a mother, the thought alone hurts my heart. Please know that we are holding you fiercely in our hearts, crying with you, hoping with you, and sending love that stretches far beyond words 🙏🏼♥️

If you want to be more patient with your child, start by being more patient with yourself.

Most of us were never taught how to do that. We try to look patient on the outside, but inside we’re carrying stress, frustration, and resentment. And our kids feel it—because even if we say the right words, the energy we bring tells the real story.

Patience is hard when you're trying to get out the door and your child is moving slow. That’s when you practice slowing down.

It’s hard when you’re making dinner and your child is pulling at your leg needing attention. That’s when you practice presence.

It’s hard at bedtime when they keep calling for you. That’s when you practice calm.

It’s hard when they’re melting down, and you’re running on empty. That’s when you practice kindness.

This is why patience isn’t just about waiting. It’s about how you wait. The tone in your voice. The way you move. The energy you bring.

And like anything else worth learning, it takes practice. Daily. Especially when you're tired or overwhelmed. Those are the moments when modeling patience really counts.

So give yourself grace. Create space to breathe. And if you know you tend to lose your patience at certain points in the day, have a plan. When you’re prepared, it’s easier to stay grounded.

The more you practice, the easier it gets. And the more you model it, the more your child will learn it, too.

It’s easy to love our kids when they’re sweet and snuggly, right?

But what about when they’re yelling, melting down, or pushing every last one of our buttons?

That’s when it gets real.

And yet—those are the exact moments they need us the most.

Not to fix them. Not to scold them. Just to stay.

Because underneath that big, messy behavior is a nervous system crying out for safety. And if we lean in instead of pulling away, we send a powerful message:

“I won’t abandon you in your struggle.”

That doesn’t mean we’re permissive. It means we’re anchored.

It’s not about letting the behavior slide—it’s about seeing beyond it.

You can be the calm they borrow until they find their own.

You can show them what love looks like when it’s unconditional.

And even if your child can’t articulate it, deep down they’re hoping—praying—you’ll understand that their hardest moments are really bids for connection. That you’ll know what they can’t say: “I’m not okay. Stay close.”

So let’s be that steady, soft place to land.

Not just when it’s easy. But especially when it’s not.
