My body knows where it is safe. My body knows who it is safe with. I am teaching my children to listen to their bodies as they grapple with this challenging life. It is a hard life. But a beautiful life. And I want it to be filled with people who make them feel safe. I hope to be one of those people. I hope that they know they will receive unconditional love and acceptance and that they know my home is a place that their nervous system can breathe.
It is hard with teenagers. There is so much living that we have to "help" them do. But as they get older, more and more, I am attempting to let them rest in my home. To let them not worry that their mistakes and frustrations will be met with judgment.
GRIEF is welcome here.
ANGER is welcome here.
FRUSTRATION is welcome here.
ALL EMOTION IS WELCOME!
Here, you can be safe. And breathe. May we provide this for everyone in our lives but especially these amazing children God gifted us with.

I love this reminder to trust our instincts and teach our kids to do the same. Feeling safe in our bodies—and with the people around us—is truly foundational. Lovely post! Abortion Pills online for unwanted teenage pregnancy
