I can settle a wild room just by walking in now, all presence, no raised voice. But that means every kid brings me their meltdowns, their home troubles, their tears, and I hold all of it. At the end of the day I'm full of other people's hardest moments and there's no one standing there to hold mine.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can hold a room by presence alone, carrying every child's hardest moments while no one carries yours.
