Welcome to parenthood!
Only if it was easier, but strangely, I would argue that it can be simpler than we make it.
A lot of parents try to be accepted by their children, going for the "like" vs. the respect.
The parents' thinking is that "If they 'like' me, then we'll be good friends. Parenting will be a piece of cake."
But as you know, that's not the truth.
If we keep trying to be "friends" with our children, they will struggle to become productive adults.
Life as a parent is not easy. But you can impact your children without sacrificing your sanity.
Build the rhythms of your love with respect.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Respect over "likes"!In today's digital age, technology is ingrained into our DNA. Therefore, social media platforms have become an integral part of life.
And when children (and adults) are on social media, we desire those "likes" that validate who we are.
Now social media can be beneficial for keeping in touch with friends and meeting people, etc. But come on parents! We can't let "likes" become the priority over values.
Respect over "likes"
-
MODEL respectful behavior: Children learn from what they see and say.
-
TEACH empathy: Empathy is the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes so we can understand their perspective.
-
SPEAK face-to-face: Quit making everything into a text. It's fine if you're away from each other, but in the same house? Seriously! How you interact with your children will build their real-life experiences.
-
MONITOR their social media: Parents, you have to know what's happening on your child's social media feed. Give them clear boundaries. And if they are on social media, you need to be too.
-
FOSTER the family and a community: You must encourage your children to be involved in the family and in activities that build them up and reinforces respect.
You will have years to be friends with your children. But now, they need you to be their parent. Nope, you won't always feel appreciated and liked. But remember, it's respect over "likes"!
CHALLENGE: What can you do differently when it comes to encouraging respect over "likes"?
PRAYER: May your patience grow stronger as your love grows deeper.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
