Emily sighed, her heart aching at her daughter’s confession. She knew that technology could be a powerful distraction for children, but she hadn’t realized just how tempting it could be for Lily. She made a mental note to set stricter boundaries when it came to screen time in the future.
Sitting down beside Lily on the bed, Emily reached out and gently took her daughter’s hand in her own. “Lily, I want you to know that it’s not okay to take things without asking,” she said softly, her voice filled with love and understanding. “But I also understand that you were curious.”
Lily nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. She felt a mix of shame and remorse swirling inside her, knowing that she had disappointed her mother by her actions. But in that moment, she found solace in Emily’s comforting embrace, grateful for the unconditional love and forgiveness she offered.
