Instead of calling attention to the behavior you want your child to stop, call attention to the behavior you want them to do.

I wasn’t trying to be mean or rude; I just didn’t want to keep talking about my messy situation with Savannah. “Because tonight is about you and only you. Settle into that thought.

Just like forgiveness, grace doesn’t imply that you forget. Grace offers you an escape from the torment. It provides an understanding of what someone else might be feeling, while granting you permission to live…fully.
