In the Press
“What matters most is that you keep showing up. You keep trying. The words ‘I’m sorry’—accompanied by hugs—go a long way, for both you and your kids. Children learn far more from how you live, how you talk to others, how you give yourself grace, and how you repair than from finding the exact right thing to say in a tense moment.”
— Dr. Feliza Guidero, Clinical Psychologist
