I think the biggest thing that I try to do with my kiddos around this topic is emotional predictably. I think as others have stated learning abilities to deal with other people’s emotions a good ability to have.
My parents were never consistent with their emotions and I am not talking between the two I am talking about them as individuals… I could get yelled at by my Dad about the same thing twice and the reactions be completely different.
If I am having a bad day and do fly off the handle a bit more than normal I make sure to apologize to my kiddos and explain to them why I reacted the way I did. Now I’m trying to get my babies mama on board.
I think a lot of parents out there forget that thier kids are people too.
The predictability and clearly communicated rules are worth a lot and very important, it instills a sense of security. in my opinion there’s nothing worse than instability for a kid,
