I'm behind on some of my substack posts that I like to read, but maybe it's fitting that I'm only getting to yours today, as my 7 year old had me up for the same reasons at 3am today, so I can relate! 🥱 It is such a gift that we can always repair. And that the repair is often stronger then the rupture!
With kids (maybe adults too?) I think the repair is often more a physical process than having the right words too, which is nice when you aren't sure what to say. Wishing you an 8 pm bedtime with very restful sleep!
