I love your phrases for connecting positively with your child or grandchild, in my case! And thanks for sharing that even parenting experts can lose their temper occasionally. :-)

I can relate to your ups and downs- we are all trying to take it one day at a time. My littlest guy got on the bus for in-person learning today for the first time. Man it hit me, for months, I couldn’t wait for some alone time and now I really miss his sweet little voice! I write about the same thing- connection and ways to find it. Balance is what I work toward daily- will this quest last forever??!!

In the sea of “never-wrong” parenting gurus, this is a true pleasure.

My 5 children range in age from 24 to 10. As challenging as that is I know your wisdom will still help to repair and strengthen, even with the oldest! Thank you!

However if anyone has a list of ways to reconnect with moody teenagers whi usually only grunt rather than communicating, and who you’ve shouted at because they are still in bed at midday and haven’t out their clothes in the laundry basket after the 8th time of asking (I counted) I’d be really grateful!!

]]> By: Allison https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/how-to-connect-with-your-child/#comment-4241 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=10152#comment-4241 I’m 43 years old. I have raised 2 amazing daughters Lindsey 25 and Sidney 21. My 21 year old had my first granddaughter Londyn who is 13 mths. I don’t always have the best answers for Sidney on how to handle some of the stresses of being a new mom especially with a toddler and the tantrums. So, it’s so nice also very helpful to know you’re not a bad parent for getting frustrated. These articles and sharing your experiences has been such a blessing to have. Thank you for making this available. Love it!!!

I started using them with my younger kids. I just wish there was a list for teenagers too because it so happens I tend to loose my cool with them as well but I doubt they will want to do much of anything on that list!

I’m soon going to be home schooling my 8 yo daughter and awaiting the arrival of a little one in July. I think with a just born n 8 yo I need to exercise a lot of patience to keep myself sane. I do lose it some times but some how it makes me feel the first time around its like a trial and error. I’m sure I’m going paste 5:1 on my wall as a reminder. Lovely ideas at the right time! Thanks so much for sharing them!

For more ideas on big-hearted connection, our website offers service projects (many can be done at home) and ideas for family volunteering. Both offer opportunities to do good for others while having big-hearted fun together as a family. Thanks also for the tip that apologies are important. Mistakes do happen, but it’s our connection that matters most.

]]> By: Rachel https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/how-to-connect-with-your-child/#comment-3392 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=10152#comment-3392 I love this! I’ve been starting to remind myself of the potential of “re-do’s” when it comes to parenting, as well as allowing my children the opportunity to “re-do” something that turned negative. I love this idea of 5 good acts!
