Trickery. Are you parenting by giving trickery a part in your interactions with your children? If children are given 'illusions of choices' when they are little, they will not recognize 'real choices' when they are tweeners, teens and then young adults.
You set the tone for what kind of choices your child will recognize in the future and how they will respond.
And here's the other thing. You don't need to manipulate your child. What you need to do is learn who your child is and then sit in the space of how he operates and translate his choices for him.
There is no magic to raising children. There is only real hard, engaging work.
A short one today. But deep...Leave a comment. Tell me what you think.
