040: What Is Connection With Children Really All About

Staying connected with our children is important. But what does it even mean? What does connection look like when it’s there, and how do we know when it’s missing?   Lack of connection is evident in our difficulty to have an impact on our children either with words or actions. That is what we see at the surface. What creates a strong connection?    In today's episode, I am offering a shift in perspective that may give you a very clear look as to what connection is and what it is built on. I hope that seeing connection from this perspective will help you tell how things are going between you and your child, as well as what you may want to do if you feel like improvements may be needed.     Need more ideas?
