Part Four
Resilience
Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can cause everlasting damage and require years of therapy to heal from.

Children teach us about resilience by showing us how every tantrum, every sleepless night, every challenge is a chance to rise, radiate, and rediscover our sacred strength as a mama.
—Bells Brightley, parenting blogger (@MindfulMamaBells) and bestselling author of How to Be the Best Mom You Can Be: Helping You to Help Them
