info_outlineIn today’s episode, I'm finally back in my bedroom after a short stint in Scottsdale, gearing up for more summer travels. I've been reveling in the joy of routine while also recognizing the beauty of breaking away from it. Today, let's dive into a topic that's been on my mind – forging deeper connections with our kids as they grow. The parent-child dynamic evolves beyond just being caregivers, and I've got five powerful questions to help us navigate this journey. First up, ever wondered what your child truly wants to do with you? Let's explore that. Then, there's the question of understanding – what do they wish we knew about them? Delving into dislikes might not be easy, but it opens doors for improvement. And, how about asking them for alternatives – what could we do differently? Lastly, what can we do to enhance our relationship? Remember, these conversations evolve as they age, so let's adapt. Just like marriages, our bond with our children requires ongoing effort and intentional communication. Stay tuned for more insights, and if you're curious about my latest fashion find, hop over to my Instagram. Thanks for being here!
“Something that I've always given my kids is age-appropriate truth. I did not lie to them. I do not tell them something is not true if they asked me outright, but I do make sure it's age appropriate in how I convey that truth to them.”
