## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] If my child tries out for a team or really wants to get into a certain college or gets shunned at lunch. Am I willing to sit with her or sit with him and not fix it? But just being with her or him in the struggle. Am I willing to look over and say, God, I know how crappy this feels right now. Instead of just flipping on the light and giving advice or saying, well I don't care what anyone thinks. I think you're the best darn soccer player in the world. Teaching them how to feel emotion Teaching them how to get curious about it. Teaching them how to name it. Teaching them how to ask for what they need.

That's the gift that parents give. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
