Hello Friend’s,

Let’s start out by stating the obvious, I am not a parent. You may not think I’m qualified to give parenting advice, but before you click away give me a chance. I am a daughter and this advice is coming from the child’s perspective.

Still here? Okay cool let’s go! As a psychic the one issue I see with my clients and their kids is that their kids are completely out of touch with them, unempathetic, unresponsive, and dis-interested in connecting with them. I’m going to address the elephant in the roon. Some of this is due to parents spoiling their kids. That’s bad, but I’m not here to write about that.

As kids, we see our parents a Mom and Dad. My mom and day. We don’t often think about any other aspect of their lives. When we see parent’s as simply as Mom and Dad it affects us. We give them power, hold them to idealistic standards, and it creates a gap.

When I, as an adult started to see my parent’s as people everything changed for me. They became interesting, relateable, funny, complex human beings. Understanding their journeies, dreams, strength’s, flaws, and mistakes helped me love them more and let go of past resentments I’d held on to for a long time.

There are many important things you need to teach your kid’s. It’s important to let them see your many other facits. This is harder to do with little ones, but as they grow and mature let them in. Share stories, struggles you’ve had at their age. The more you take the time to connect with them the better your relationship will be.

Let them know about mistakes you’ve made (within reason lol). Let them know what you love, what you dream, what makes you laugh. do feel that it is important to maintain your parental role. You still have to be the boss.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I’m really curious what you thought as a parent or child. Was this helpful?

Take Care, Jen
