Have you ever felt like your kids don’t respect you the way you think they should? Do you compare things to the relationship between you and your own parents? One of the most important things to look at are the root causes of respect and a parenting relationship. Much has changed since the parenting styles of the old days. The good news is that there are several ways to earn your child’s respect without resorting to yelling, hitting, or intimidation.

As parents, it’s easy to confuse respect with enforcement of obedience. Respect is defined as a feeling of deep admiration for someone elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. By reframing respect under this lens, you can demonstrate your value to your children as someone who deserves their respect instead of using intimidation. Archaic scare tactics that were frequently used by parents in the past can make you into someone kids want to avoid or are annoyed by, which isn’t good when it comes to developing genuine bonds and relationships. Just like in adult relationships, if you’re not likable, you’ll truly never be respected.

What’s Inside:

• The definitions of respect and authority.
• The history of how respect was earned in parenting relationships of the past.
• Positive punishers and why using them works against you as a parent.
