I'm glad to see this article. I missed a couple of weeks. There will surely be times in the next couple of weeks when it will be useful, since I'm not good at bring empathetic.
Great article! This is an important skill to learn. I know as a parent of young children and a beginning teacher this is a skill I lacked. Validating feelings is definitely a superpower.
I would love to share your post on my newsletter (with its tiny circulation).
It's been so interesting to me because I was so bad at validating. I was constantly invalidating my kids feelings and ideas - not maliciously - I genuinely thought I was helping.
I'm still learning but it's making a big difference in how I talk to them.

Heck yes you can!
Thanks for the compliment.
