This week: A Letter To My Kids

We are all familiar with the teenage eye-roll when interacting with our kids and trying to engage them in conversation.

• Have you ever considered writing a letter to your kid? The power of the written word is a very special way to let your kids know how you feel about them.
• Do you know what lessons and skills you want to teach your kids?
• Establishing a good relationship of communication is important. How do you do it?
• Make sure your children know it is ok to make mistakes.
• Leave the option open to call you if they find themselves in a dangerous situation, or if they have made a bad choice.
• Help your kids think about what they are looking for in a partner, when they are ready to start dating.
• What do we say when having “the talk” with our kids, to convey what we need to, without creating a situation where they are afraid to come to you if they need to talk.
• Establishing unconditional love with you kids. Do they know that you love them no matter what?
• Teach your kid good coping skills, and set a good example by showing how you solve problems.
• Feelings are meant to be felt. Help them to know how to feel and manage their feelings.
• Let your kids know to surround themselves with friends who lift them up, rather than pull them down.
• Teach your kids to always be aware and safe!
• Teach your children to master their thoughts and actions.
