When kids say, “This is stupid!” They’re not asking for a lecture. They’re asking for support. 💛 It’s easy to jump to: “Just focus.” “It’s not that hard.” “You need to try harder.” But frustration isn’t fixed with pressure. It’s softened with connection.

We’re not lowering expectations. We’re raising resilience. Want more scripts and real-life examples?
