Do you have a pattern for how you relate to your teen or adult child?

You may have a pattern for how you relate to your teen or adult child. 

A pattern may be triggered based on certain things your child does or says.

That pattern may become a habit, coming out subconsciously without you even thinking about it.

This pattern may shape the relationship and communication with your child.

If your communication or relationship with your child is not what you want it to be, you can start by looking at any patterns you have and how they are triggered. 

Because the same patterns will continue until you consciously change them.

Are they positive, reflecting love and compassion? Are they based on fear, resulting in anger and frustration? 

For example, maybe when your young adult comes home very late, you feel fearful that this means they were using drugs so you greet them with anger and frustration when they arrive. 

What patterns, positive or negative, do you have that impact your relationship with your child?

Sending love and light,
