I meditated every morning for three years and I was still the most reactive person in every room I walked into - and a monk in Thailand told me the problem wasn't my practice, it was that I was using stillness as preparation for chaos instead of learning to find stillness inside the chaos itself - Silicon Canals

Many parents focus on providing for their children materially but neglect emotional presence, leading to adult children who feel disconnected. This emotional neglect is often unrecognized, as it stems from a lack of emotional engagement rather than overt harm. Dr. Jonice Webb identifies various parenting styles that contribute to this neglect, emphasizing that it is a non-event, making it difficult for both parents and children to recognize its impact on their relationships.

"Providing for a child and being emotionally present for a child are two completely different things. Many loving, well-meaning parents mastered the first while never learning how to do the second."

"Emotional neglect is not something a parent does to a child. It's something a parent fails to do for a child. It's not an event. It's a non-event."
