Approach parenting as a business, make unemotional choices. save emotion for good mornings, bedtimes, birthdays, every day things, until something happens that needs to be solved. Then emotion
needs to be pushed aside and unemotional, business minded problem solving needs to be the approach.
What we want for them do matter, it's just understanding what that means.
We won't always have a good reaction, but we can have a better reaction to our poor action.
S - Self
E- Example
R - Response
We get told it's the hardest job in the world. that's an excuse and a crappy way to not take responsibility.
Your past self could have been better if you knew what you know today. Look back, think back, know you couldn't have done any better, because you were a child, BUT you can take those lessons to be a better parent today.
Don't hinder their curiosity, allow it to grow.
If you want them to talk, you have to talk. They can't respond to nothing. Prompt them and know when to stop and start listening.
