Personal Safety

I detest my new teammate. The cocky, infuriating, obnoxious Australian rugby star, Colin Kearney, gets under my skin in every way imaginable. No wonder he got kicked out of his league. From the moment we met, he's occupied all my attention, so much so that we give in to one night to f*ck it out. When he kisses me on the nose at training camp, after I rake him over the coals, it sets off a chain reaction in me I can't come back from. And I don't know if I want to find my way back.

Parenting isn't rocket science, it's just brain surgery. And Dr. Joshua Straub has good news for you: You can do it! You don’t need to do all the “right” things as a parent. Both science and the Bible show us that the most important thing we can provide for our kids is a place of emotional safety. In other words, the posture from which we parent matters infinitely more than the techniques of parenting. Emotional safety—more than any other factor—is scientifically linked to raising kids who live, love, and lead well.

To put it very simply, if you can see someone's hands and they are not concealing them, holding a weapon or positioning to strike you, one's levels of trust and confidence can increase. This simple example can serve as a reminder to all of us in many of the complex moments we have to deal with, and difficult decisions we have to make, in everyday life.

When we notice and name glimmers, we train our nervous system to be open to more of these moments—expanding our overall sense of well-being.
