I would say my golden nugget of parenting advice would be: "Stop and listen--and if you're worried, understand that it will always come back." If your child has a concern, a fear, a stressor--it will keep coming back until that question is answered. If you feel like you missed it the first time or you didn't hear it when it cropped up, understand that if you listen for it, it will come back again and you'll have another shot at it. Our kids love us--they want us to parent--they want us to show them the love and affection that we can, but they also understand that they can keep coming back to us again and again until those questions are answered. You'll always have another shot.
