How to Change Your Relationship With Your Child
Your relationship with your child can be changed, but it does not guarantee their overall happiness. Human happiness is mostly internal, influenced by genetic predispositions and upbringing. Discipline involving clear and consistent rules, enforced without much emotion, is crucial. Identical twin studies show the impact of who raises you. Nature and nurture play significant roles, with discipline being best achieved through firm yet non-emotional enforcement. The concept of coddling is questioned, as seen in the example of a 13-year-old being financially independent and decision-making. The idea of free-range parenting and fostering independence could be beneficial, as seen in the positive outcomes experienced by those who have gone through it.
