There is probably no time a parent feels more valued than when your child comes to you in tears and wants nothing more than to be held, because you are the only person that can make him feel better.
In his time of crisis, he immediately turns to you. It's humbling and empowering.
And those feelings of parental vitality are in no way diminished by the fact that he's crying because he fell off the first step while you weren't paying attention.
The child is too young to make the connection between the bump on his head and your incompetence. And that's what important. And beautiful.
