Being good parent requires a good amount of balance … balance between the following …
- Giving your children what they need and letting them earn for what they want
- Getting them out of a tight spot and letting them learn how NOT to get into a tight spot
- Forgiveness and forgiving but letting them know that actions have consequences that they’d have to live with
I used to say to my beautiful daughter when she was younger: I will always support you no matter what you do; know that I’m here for you and will always be. I may not always agree with your actions, but, always know you can confide in me.
She now tells me how important this advice was as she was growing and experiencing all things new. 😉
