Do you feel like you are always begging, pleading, or insisting that your kids do things?
Has your day-to-day routine lost all sense of play and the lightheartedness that should accompany family life?
When my daughter is resisting everything I say or when it feels difficult to relate to her, I know it is imperative for me to take a look at how often I choose to demonstrate a loving, fun, and calm presence in her life.
How do I act most often when I'm feeling frustrated or facing an obstacle?
I'm her model.
If I lose it during those times, how can I expect her to be cooperative and feel connected when she's stressed?
