I don't get what you think you messed up. At that age, all that matters is that you say something until he's satisfied to move on to another topic, right? The criticality of explaining it right comes later. - Bruce Lewis

that's the thing though bruce...I don't know if I did mess up, if it was perfect, etc. I wish parenting came with an instruction booklet. detailed. With graphs. - Erin @queenofspain

If there were an instruction booklet you'd worry about whether it was right. The good thing is your husband is there for you. As a still-learning emotional supporter, I admire the way he handled it. - Bruce Lewis
