"Walking With Your Child"

How do you do life with your child? Do you lecture, rescue, affirm, cajole, correct, discipline? You probably do a bit of all of these at different times. What if instead of trying to make everything right for you and your child, you simply walked with them through life. When there is trouble, could you ask questions instead of reacting with negativity? The idea here is connection instead of just correction. Connecting with your child through the troubles will deepen the relationship and isn't our goal relationship, and not just rules?

We need to check our motives as parents and make sure we are not rescuing our children because we are concerned about our own reputation. Again, relationship over reputation is our goal.

Keep that posture of connection rather than just correction and relationship rather than reputation and focus on love-centered parenting.
