Everybody wants to have a better relationship with their children. Is there a way to guide your children to adult-level skills and abilities while maintaining a strong and positive relationship that can carry you both through the rest of your lives? It’s easy to become overwhelmed with how much we need to teach our kids, and that they’ll need to accept that life doesn’t always line up with their hopes, dreams, and desires. Children are a bit like unfinished products that need a ton of help and guidance as they grow. As babies, they rely on parents for just about everything and they can’t make it in the real world without you. However, your role changes as they age and start to communicate what they want and need.
Kids start to develop their own sense of independence, which continues and grows larger in their teenage years. The biggest challenge you’ll face as a parent is getting them through all the important stages of development while keeping a strong, positive bond and relationship. While focusing on attachment is important, bending to every one of their wants and desires isn’t the best way. In our household, our parenting blueprint has enabled us to give our growing children perhaps more freedoms than other parents do, and it’s not because we’ve been overly permissive or only focused on attachment. In fact, it’s been more about setting appropriate boundaries and providing them with reasonable consequences. Here, I share some tips on how you too can create a positive, strong relationship with your kids that lasts a lifetime.
What’s Inside:
- Why focusing on attachment isn’t the only key to strong parent-child relationships.
- Why strict, authoritarian parenting takes a toll on your child’s feelings and self-esteem.
- The definition of a true, healthy parent-child relationship.
- The path to progress in creating a better relationship with your kids.
