   Parents have a tremendous impact on their kids' character, beliefs and attitudes! It's good to be more mindful about everything we do and there's always a better way to get your point across rather than just being pushy ?☺

   Amy Kline says:

   It’s more difficult as a parent to encourage kids to think, challenge the status quo, and decide what is right. It’s one thing I believe to have succeeded at in my parenting journey, along side many mistakes.

   It requires trust in the kid, trust in the way you’ve raised them and what you’ve modeled to them, and also the strength to watch them make wrong, painful, or impulsive decisions, without bailing them out or rescuing them.
   So many times I’ve been proud of my kids when they rebel against the norm, question their peers, and stick up to others that violate their beliefs. It’s really cool to watch.

   RAISE ADULTS instead of raising children! 🙂 love=commitment displayed through action to another which will give them life – not death. let the kiddos receive their consequences… so difficult!! so worth it in the end tho!

   Yes!! The principles you shared are the basis of my coaching with parents. Well said! I just finished your book, amazing, as all of your content is! I would absolutely love to sit down with you, grab a drink and bs over many things, get your opinions and gain a better understanding of how I can better coach my families, especially those who are struggling with children with behavioral disorders. They deserve my best and I feel as though I have so much more to offer! You are an inspiration! Thanks for your time! -Jenny

   Wolfferoni says:

   Every parent should be taught this. I feel like this should sort of be common sense but it isn't. Growing up in an abusive, authoritarian household, I wish there were more parents like Mel. Sometimes parents think they know best and maybe they control their kids' lives because they're worried about their futures but they often times don't realise how it can stunt their child's growth and ability to be an independent, well-functioning adult.

    Lori O'Grady says:

    Even though I don't have kids myself, I still took a lot from this. Firstly, from one of your 31 sessions, I took note of you saying that as adults we need to parent ourselves. For me, everything in this video is what I should expect and encourage in myself when I parent myself. Next, I do need to acknowledge that I didn't get this all the time as a kid – and let that go and now parent myself. Finally, I'm an Auntie that is actively involved with young nephews, I can model and use this behavior when engaging with them. So tons Mel! Thanks again. You are such a clear and direct source of wisdom!

    Muslimah1987 says:

    Talk about taking the words out of my mouth. I've only half raised my baby sister but this is exactly the approach I fell into and she blossomed as a result – at least until the rest of our (hideously fucked up Muslim) family intervened and ruined my hard work. But I still believe some seeds remain firmly planted and hold out hope that all isn't yet lost.

    My number 1 rule is to remember that I am always teaching them in all my responses, comments, reactions etc. Anything that is observed in their presence is teaching them how to be a person.

    ContainedFire says:

    By the time your child is a teen, it is too late to "parent" them. You can only watch out for them and provide a safety net when they stumble or fall. The real parenting happens from birth to maybe 10-11. If you're lucky and did things right when the child was young, hopefully your teen will allow you to be their "consultant" but the actual parenting days are over. I am not speaking as parent, but as a former child and teen who remembers vividly how I saw my parents and adults in my life at that time.

    "Because I said so". I've heard that way too many times and it's always pissed me off, even from strangers to their own kids. So stupid and counterproductive in my opinion. Discussions aren't a one way street, even if it's with a child. We have to listen to everyones feelings and opinions to work towards peaceful, health-encouraging and productive, solutions and a certain freedom of choice to maximise learning experiences. Otherwise, to me, it's discrimination of one of the most unhealthy and toxic kinds.
