  1. Sadly, I didn’t bond with my dad – more so my mom. They are wonderful people though. I also want my son to look me in the eye when I’m talking to him.

    1. Looking in the eyes is a big deal, my middle child has autism so he wasn’t always good at that. It was amazing that he actually is VERY good at looking in eyes now at age 8, because we have worked on it with him. I honestly wasn’t able to look anyone in the eyes until long into my adult years, I am not sure what my problem was, it was just difficult for me back from younger years into early adult years. My father once told me it was sad that I was unable to look anyone in the eyes, even when speaking the truth. I am glad you are working on that with your son. I do think we end up with more of a bond with one parent over the other, because we are all individuals and bond with certain personality types over others, that doesn’t mean we love either parent more or less, just means we are human 😉

  2. I think finding a balance between strict parent and friend is important. Kids need to have respect for you and rules but they shouldn’t be afraid to speak to you.

  3. I always find that relating to the kids helps them to understand and respect you. Like you said, giving them examples that they can relate too helps them to understand more as well.

  4. I feel kids need to hear that you understand them. While they think they are alone in certain situations hearing stories of similar obstacles can help with communicating
