The way we relate to our kids is the most powerful tool we have. Being
accountable for our own emotions allows us to develop deep relationships
with our children. When we are present and accept what is with kindness
and compassion, kids welcome our love and guidance.

Functional relating helps children grow into resilient, successful individuals.
It helps immunize them against drugs, stress, depression and fear. Parents can’t stop kids from feeling pain or taking risks. If you are able to really
see and hear your children, they will turn to you as they encounter the
natural challenges of growing up. A healthy connection between parents
and kids allows guidance to be given and received with respect.

We can also use functional relating as the basis for our interactions with ourselves, our spouses, friends, co-workers and others. I’d like to tell
you more about healthy relating. Please call me at 949-499-0923.
