What do you do when your child doesn’t get it; the next steps in life? Stop pulling your hair out and understand your child’s perspective.
Be the guide in your child’s life. And that means you don’t have to have all the answers or act like you do. Come as you are. A concerned loving parent who wants what’s best.

But the way we as parents see best is totally different than how your child experiences it.
Whether or not we want to admit it, we can be overbearing. To some degree, that is our responsibility. But on the other hand, we are called to let them experience life through their eyes.
So tough!!
However, you can be still very involved and point them in the right direction. It takes just a little skill and preparation.
Ask more than you answer.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Ask more than you answer!
You probably have a vast amount of knowledge. And you definitely know what’s best for your child.
But your child needs to know what’s best from his/her perspective. It’s not about what you know, but what he/she knows.
Ask more than you answer!
- Flex your questioning muscles. Questions assist your child in his/her thoughts. The more questions your child can answer, the clearer the situation at hand. It’s all about clarity. Without clarity, there’s confusion. And confusion only leads to no or little action.
- Help your child see what can be achieved. Help your child paint a realistic picture of what is possible. Your experiences will help him/her in this area. But be cautious. It’s not about you.
- Let presence be your focus. It’s not about you. Now, you know this, but your child doesn’t always see it or believe it in the moment. When you’re present, you are less likely to trip over your words and let your child walk through the forest of confusion.
CHALLENGE: What area in your child’s life needs more questions than answers?
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
