44. Building a Better Connection with your Child

So many of us, including me, struggle to figure out HOW to
connect with our kids.  Feeling like we don't have a bond
and sometimes even questioning if they are capable to "really"
love us or if they would miss us if we weren't here tomorrow.
 I know those thoughts, because I have had those thoughts so
if you have had those thoughts, this episode is for you!


Talk to them even if it doesn’t seem like they want to, just be
sure to choose the times of the day when you know it would be
best for them


Give yourself permission to not be interested in what they want
to talk about without it meaning something about you as a mom


Set boundaries for yourself and have expectations and
consequences that you are willing to follow through on 


Choose your battles and decide what is important based on your
family values and stick to it


Get out of your comfort zone and routine and DO or GO someplace
different


Take time to just BE with your child without any expectations
