Re: Relationship with kids

you know I agree with most of what you guys say. What scares the freak out of me though, is what I see around in real life. Some of my really good friends are friendly and open with their kids , them being mostly teenagers, now , I realize that its that age that can cause issues but still I see them , friends , struggling to get some control over their kid’s lives.

I feel if communication was the key element then they wouldnt have struggled coz like some of you said, they are close to their kids like friends, they try to teach them through letting them make their choices rather then forcing them into believing a certain thing. But a point has now come that I still see them getting upset with kids when they hide some stuff away :no:

I want to know what is the missing factor here . And how the relationship should be with the kids when they are 5-8 years of age and how this relationship should evolve as the kid grows ..

I do think communication is the key though but not in the sense that I guess is normally being talked about.

So far, I like aahmed’s approach a lot. Because it means whether the truth is good to hear or not - it should be said and its okay to be said. It gives kids the idea that no matter what it is…they can talk about it with their parents. That’s what I’d want…my kids to be excellent communicators with their parents.
