Honest Parenting
- Parents should acknowledge their imperfections and transactional tendencies in parenting.
- Openly communicate these flaws to children, freeing them from the burden of fixing their parents.
Mirroring the Shadow
- Complicated parent-child relationships, especially those marked by frequent conflict, often reflect the parent's shadow self.
- The child mirrors back unresolved issues, particularly around control, prompting reactivity in the parent.
Disengaging from Power Struggles
- Disengage from power struggles with children, especially when they exhibit disrespect.
- Create boundaries and postpone discussions, rather than escalating conflicts driven by ego.
