None of this is about making our kid happy.
The reason we intervene so quickly when our kid is upset is to make ourselves more comfortable.
And as long as we keep saying it's about making our kid happy, it sounds nice.
As long as we shift it to hold on,
What's going on for me when I see my kid left out?
What's going on for me when my kid is, I don't know, struggling in this way?

That's everything.
