I have been thinking so much about this - the idea that without curiosity, there is no way to really know someone. It doesn't even mean that you ask them lots of questions, it just means that you hold them in your heart and mind in a way that asks what they might be experiencing.
I would also say, if we don't have a deeper curiosity for ourselves, the same kind of "why did I do that?" Instead of "I can't believe I did that" we will always have a hard time having the curiosity for other people...
Great insights - thank you. I do find that taking a beat and asking myself why about anything related to my child’s behaviour helps me be more present and actually understand what’s going on for them
