Give yourself grace โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ thanks for this insight @tracycasselsphd Too often parents worry that they need to be perfect when raising an orchid because of the intense needs and the way in which they can respond to the less-than-ideal moments. But please - you don't! You can be yourself and make mistakes, but how you handle those mistakes will be what your orchid needs you to work on. Be open about making mistakes so they know it's okay to err too. Apologize and try to make amends so they know you're taking their emotional reactions seriously. And work towards finding longer term solutions if you see patterns repeating. These are all important for your orchid to know.
