RE: Sam’s Hangout #114 - “PARENTS AND UNSPOKEN FEELINGS”
Happy Weekend, Guys 🥰
We can all agree that the key to building a healthy parent and child relationship is open communication.
I strongly believe children should communicate with their parents without fear or have any challenges communicating their fears, challenges , mistakes and even regrets. I feel it's extremely safe to raise children that can open up and communicate with zero secrets.
When I become a mom, first I will make my kids understand that they should always trust me with their secrets, listen to them without judgements, because the moment children feel judged they will go back to keeping secrets.
Every parent needs to create that relationship with their children, provide a home where honesty is valued and make kids realize that they aren't perfect. I believe, kids should always communicate their mistakes, fears and challenges without fear .
Especially, In this generation, it's very risky to raise a child that can't communicate openly or even scared of communicating. I believe secrets shouldn't be a natural part of growing up.
Also, I have noticed that kids will always communicate and open up when they feel heard, understood, not judged and condemned.
All these children and teenagers need is guidance and that is our responsibility as adults and parents.
@marsdave @chefqueen @afrikens @cohlson it's hangout time 🥳
See now, you've diad everything...
Where should we start from now 🤔....
Even though I believe that secret is a natural way of growing up. No matter how open you're as a parent, and no matter the good relationship y'all have, children will always have things they are not telling you, not as if they are scared or telling others about it...they just have it in them.
You are right, that's why we need to make them feel very safe around us...

That's the very loophole of children confiding in outsiders that may end up being the wrong person
