12:52:21 From Daryn : I was imagining her as a teenager and it made me cry
12:52:37 From Sally O’Neill (she, her) : tears!!!! I felt I could do this at that age but forget with teenagers. The tantrums look different but our response can be similar.
12:53:51 From Millie Hsi (she, her, hers) : Yes, Sally. Just thinking the same thing with my 9-year-olds when they melt down. Sitting with the discomfort of the meltdown is definitely what I need to learn to do better.
