We offer this example to make the point that seeing your children doesn’t mean being a flawless parent. No one can read their kids’ cues perfectly all the time, and even if we try, we’ll still miss the mark sometimes. We might feel like we’re laughing with a child, only to have him perceive that we’re laughing at his expense. Or we might interpret something one of our kids says as evidence of anxiety and respond accordingly, only to have her offended because she feels like we viewed her as weak or unable to handle a situation. Or circumstances might keep us from actually knowing how to respond to what we see, as in the case of Alisia and her mother. The point is that truly seeing our children is often a hit-or-miss proposition, but making sincere efforts along each step of the triad of connection will give us the best chance for connection and understanding.
