Becoming Comfortable With Uncertainty
Even though it’s impossible for parents to know everything, we sometimes act like we do anyway. Why? To keep up appearances for our children. We resist saying “I don’t know” because we think they’ll feel safer if they believe we know the answer. Often, the opposite is true and kids whose parents...
