Thank you so much for this!! There's a lot of talk amongst adults working with kids these days about the misuse of the word in young(er) circles.

There are times in parenting where I flash to a painful memory of my own youth. In a way that I find some semblence of healing that old wound with new perspective. I wouldn't call it a trigger as in I don't have a flight/fight response nor one of freezing like a deer in headlights, but just wanted to thank you for what you wrote.
