Parents of older kids who turned out to be respectful and caring- what did you do?
My son is nearly 5, very bright and curious, and some days I feel like all I do is say, “Stop that,” “Don’t do this,” “Put that down,” etc. 😩 I really want to build a close relationship with him where he grows up respectful, kind and caring towards me, without being overly strict or controlling. For parents with older children who have grown into respectful, loving and caring people - what parenting habits or approaches do you genuinely think made the biggest difference? Any tips you wish you’d started at age 4–5? #relationships source
