If you were born in the ’80s or ‘90’s you were more than likely raised using shame and threats and punishments. This is no fault of our parents they were doing what they thought was right but this model doesn’t foster a great parent-child relationship. Coming in with empathy and understanding when our kids make mistakes infuses more connection into the relationship. And guess what, it’s not about the amount of time we spend with our child that builds a deep, meaningful, rich relationship it’s about the quality of time.I am rolling out a new parenting mastermind this spring to help parents like you experience more connection, more love, and less frustration with the children they love.
