You’ve just tackled the Herculean task of folding 1,000 pint-sized pieces of toddler clothing, and you’re standing back, feeling pretty darn proud of your neat stacks. Then, in a blink, your little one barrels through, accidentally creating chaos and unfolding almost everything. 🙈

2: “Ugh, that’s so frustrating! I know you worked hard on that. It makes sense to be feeling disappointed.”
Just like us grown-ups, kids crave empathy when those big emotions hit. But let’s be real, supporting those tiny humans through their emotional rollercoasters can be a tough gig.
