• My child can’t seem to name what they’re feeling
• I want my child to carry a solid sense of who they are even when I’m not there to remind them
• My child has gotten so used to being "the difficult one" that they act like it’s just who they are
• Even when I sit down to play with my kid I catch myself steering it
• My kid has started hiding mistakes and bracing like they’re in trouble before I’ve even said anything, and I think it’s because my first reaction to a spill or a broken thing is always the accusation
