Fix it or feel it.
I used to want my wife and kids to feel no pain. If they did feel pain I wanted to snatch them out of it. Then, through therapy, coaching, podcasts, and reading, I learned that it is in those times when life knocks me off my feet, that is where I grew the most. With my kids, and my daughter especially, I started asking, “do you want me to fix this or feel this.” I have actually stopped asking the question now because if I want to be connected to them, I feel it with them. I actually don’t ever fix it anymore. If they ask for me to “fix” it then I show them a few options as to how to face it. Then we discuss as they choose the path they want to go down and I cheer them on as if it is the best choice. If it doesn’t work, we sit in the ditch together and then they try another path as I cheer them on and stay connected to them. I still don’t like seeing them suffer but it is beautiful to get to be in it with them.
