Time is not your enemy, it is your ally

Time is not your enemy, it's your ally. We almost never need to react to anything immediately. It's almost always appropriate to react within the next few minutes and even with the next few hours or days. If you simply say to a child [music] who might have crossed the line, "This is something that needs to be addressed, but I want to cool down. I [music] want to relax. I want to think about this." And then we're going to have a conversation about it. I love you no matter what. I know [music] you love me and this was a mistake, but give me some time to think about what the right next step is going to be. Those types of messaging [music] to children I think can be extremely powerful. And time is not your enemy. You can [music] utilize time in a way in which it is extraordinarily helpful. And when we view time in the opposite as an enemy and we need to jump in and quickly fill in [music] the blank, it almost always results in failure and destruction.
