You want to raise children who will come to you when they get into trouble.
You want to raise kids who you have a good relationship with, especially as your child gets older and life gets more and more challenging to navigate for the child.
You want your children to be able to trust you and come to you in difficult times, so that you can help and consult and be there for your child.

Parents understand that their are risks out there and would rather their children consult them as opposed to a misinformed or immature friend… or what they might see online.
If a child gets into real trouble, things could be made much worse for the child if he/she hides it or trusts the advice of a peer.
Every parent wants this. But many don’t know how to ensure this kind of relationship into the future.
Children change, they grow, the become independent, they can grow out of our control and and sphere of influence.
So what must you do now? What must you do so that your children continue to communicate with you, trust you, and come to you even when things are hard and they have made a mistake.
What must you NOT do?
