Instead of Control—Connection
We wish there were a formula for raising kids.
I wish we cared more about the privilege of knowing them.
If the parenting tricks and tips don’t work for you, could it be that your goal is not connection but control? Control through the “guise” of relationship?
- Know your children.
- Drop the shoulds.
- Stay curious and connected.
Cooperation is for your comfort. Relationship is for theirs.
Be interested in why they threw their food or won’t stay asleep or hate wearing shoes or refuse to listen.
Lean in.
Know your kids: who they are over how they are.
