Things to Remember

“Parenting is a process, there is no final product.”

“Our relationships with our children are all unique.”

“The parent-child relationship affects the development process.”

“When we bring our presence to our children in a way that connotes delight. There's medicine that gets wired between us.”

“Create an experience for your children where they sense that you are a safe place to open up.”

“Messing up and conflicts are part of a relationship that we can repair without shame or self-contempt.”

“Maturity is a relational process.”

“Do the best you can and then trust that when the mess up is acknowledged, there is power in just saying, I'm so sorry.”
