Davi’s Question-
I feel that I’ll never be the parent that my son 7 and Daughter 5 will respect. I’m not as good at discipline as I’d like to be and my son is RUNNING the house with my daughter is not too far behind. I know what I need to do but why can’t/don’t I follow through. Will my kids become the kind of kids no one wants to be around? Will it ever get easier?
A parent who struggles with feeling respected by his kids is struggling with insecurity. It is tough to hold kids accountable. It is tough to tell them, “No.”
Remember this: LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS IS CHAOS
Or, one of my favorite ways to look at it is: “An unhappy child is a healthy child”
Making a difference in your parent/child relationships will start with you. I can 100% guarantee that you will see a change in relationship if you start with YOU!
