{Unconditional Love} by Rich Cochran Clear Boundaries
Love is easy to give away when the person you are giving it to is doing what you want or making you happy. Our kids need to learn early in their life that as parents we will give love without strings attached. Unconditional love is easy to say, but how does that play out in real life? Good question. We need to know that unconditional love looks different when our children are at different ages. You don’t communicate with a preschooler the same way you do a teenager. For that your teenager is grateful. You do need to make sure your child knows early that they are loved. They learn this by your care, yours words, and your tone. And by saying, “I will always love you no matter what.” One way to show unconditional love is to communicate clear boundaries. Parenting is not easy and one of our biggest challenges is knowing where the right place for boundaries are as our kids grow. Love your child enough to set clear boundaries. |
