When you remove your child from an intolerable situation, you are also teaching him/her. You are teaching that their feelings count, that their needs are valid, that they can trust their gut, that they can act to make things right, and that they don't need to stick out every situation just for the sake of sticking it out. And you are teaching them that you value them so much that you are going to do something when they come to you.
...
What breaks my heart is when parents don't recognize their child's personality and needs and inadvertently pile on.
This is really well put. Thanks, MON.
