When it comes to respecting our children, many of us grew up thinking that our kids have to earn our respect and that we can’t “just give them” respect. But why do we think this way?
Our children have feelings just as we do and are often even more sensitive. We need to make sure we are really looking at our children and asking ourselves what we know about them. We need to listen to them, we need to see them, and we need to really hear them.
We can easily say “Oh, I heard what my child said”. But did we hear the subtext? Did we try to understand what they are feeling? Did we try to hear where they are coming from?
Today we dig into the importance of spending one-on-one time with our kids, how we can practice active listening, and showing them respect as human beings. These small gestures matter, shows them that we care, and allows us insight into their lives.
