We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.

Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn't change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

Those who have a strong sense of love and belonging have the courage to be imperfect.

Empathy doesn't require that we have the exact same experiences as the person sharing their story with us...Empathy is connecting with the emotion that someone is experiencing, not the event or the circumstance.

The opposite of play is not work—the opposite of play is depression.

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment; it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.

I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.
