parents

The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.

Positive Discipline
As parents, we want what's best for our children, and one of the most important things we can do for them is to provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters growth and development. One approach to achieving this is through positive discipline, which emphasizes teaching and guidance over punishment and control.

Disfunctional family: forgiveness, healing, denial, and hate
There is not much I can say when it comes to my biological family. Strained is accurate yet doesn't quite stress the true distance between us over the last 20 years if not more. To briefly explain whyI say this: a parent’s perception of their own life and misfortunes can be transferred onto the child/children. My biological mother is the only one that recalls being abused as a child. Her abuse came in the form of having to care for younger siblings and help them with their homework. Mind you, raised by her dad and stepmother during the 60’s through late 70’s, she was oldest and made near perfect grades. Now I was raised (wasn’t blessed with siblings until after high school) as an only child and even I see this as a normal thing to ask of the oldest and smartest child.

Enmeshed Family Dynamics: When You’re Too Tight-Knit
Have you heard of ‘mama’s boy’ syndrome? Although this is not a formal diagnosis, it has commonly been used to describe a relationship where the child is infantilized by the parent and they are codependent on each other. The children seem to be passive, immature, and are poor at socializing. They are described as ‘babies’ and calls to step up might result in them becoming anxious and depending more on their parents (Khan ,1971). In family therapy, this kind of relationship is called enmeshment.
