Worry

❤️
Swipe to see why feeling what your child is feeling is not a requirement of motherhood.

A friend was telling me a story about her son when she said, "A mom has to worry when their kid is worried, right?"

Actually, no.
We don't.
We have some other amazing, loving, compassionate options that don't include taking on their emotion.

Try just feeling love for them. Or kindness. Or understanding. Or gentleness.
You don't have to take on their worry to show that you love them.💙
