Compassionate intimacy is the best. Brushing/cutting hair, helping with clothes/makeup (putting on, off, adjusting), bringing a snack, holding (hand, body) when feelin your feels, treating your injuries, rubbing your back, half-holding while sleeping (no spoon, just hold), stepping close when they know your uncomfy or upset about somethin, the willingness to be vulnerable and encouraging with each other’s novice skills or even failures, helping with chores….. why must some of these feel so exclusive to parents.
