You just have to analyze what you do and make changes in what you don't like, in what doesn't work. And start to improve, little by little. Each at his own pace, but moving forward.
The orientation proposed by the therapist is aimed at facilitate the construction of a secure attachment. A format and / or therapeutic process is proposed where the 'smart traffic light' technique is worked on. This shows how parents have to decide, how to convey security, so that their children learn to decide, to anticipate, to assume the consequences of their behavior.
This will result in knowing how to differentiate when we are the ones who have to make the decisions, when we must share the decisions with their children, and when to let the children make their decisions.
It will allow us to handle the conflicts that already exist, to prevent those that may come. With the idea of building good people, good citizens
An intelligent family is one that thinks that to teach, we must not stop learning, and I think it is clear to all that since our children were born We are learning from them. Let's not miss the opportunity to be taught.
We are facing a very necessary book that can dispel many of the insecurities that parents present, and that will help children learn to make decisions, in addition to increase trust between parents and children.
