    Miglior citazione da Parenthood: Navigating the Challenges and Joys of Raising Children

    “

    The magic isn't in never making a mistake; it's in the repair. That process of 'rupture and repair' is actually what teaches children resilience, showing them that mistakes are part of life and that connection can always be restored.
