Relationships II

by Bushkids

Parents have to accept the fact that the parent-child relationship must change to allow greater independence of the child. However, both parent and child are faced today with a rapidly changing world. Children take their cues from what parents do and say.

First and foremost, parents should try to keep open the lines of communication with their children. They can talk to them (not at them) they can listen to them, they can encourage them to speak openly. Secondly, they can help their children to begin learning to become more independent and to take responsibility for their own actions.

Thirdly, we need to understand, accept and enjoy the (healthy) relationships that we have. In each of these trust is of the utmost importance.
