What Do Children Need?
Your child needs you to be a parent, not a friend.
Children need heroes and mentors.
And that means you need to have great ones yourself. Be careful
who you look up to. Your children are paying attention.
Your children need your time - more than anything else.
Parents are Leaders, too

Communication
by lois ()Communication is the heart of all relationships. To be effective communicators with our children, we need sharp listening skills. To be a good listener you need to care about those to whom you are listening.
“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel” (Carl W Buechner)
Your children need to believe that you CARE enough to listen to what they have to say. It lets them know you CARE, respect and understand them
