The Importance of Relationship Building in Parenting

The challenges are not any different today than they were a number of years ago. The approach to it is different because instead of me walking in and saying my kid is the problem, what I'm seeing now is that my kids are having a problem and they need my help,. And I don't have what it takes to help them by myself. Now when my kids see something go wrong, whether it's with a sibling or with somebody else, my hope going forward is that this has been instilled in them enough from intentional interaction with us. It would be more natural for my kids than it was for me.
