Each child, no matter their age or gender, has unique needs, but a healthy relationship with a parent can support them all. Here's how.
"I need her guidance, big and small,” Sophia Gallo, 24, of Brooklyn, New York, says of her mom, Martine Beudert. “Something small would be, like, I have a mouse in my apartment. What should I do? But there are also bigger things, like how I should deal with my landlord. I feel that, overall, mom’s always right, but that doesn’t mean I should abandon all critical thinking.” “I had children late,” Martine says.
Respect my individuality and independence and let me find my own way—whether or not you share my values or approve of my decisions. If I stumble or fail, trust that I will learn from it and be the better for it. Take notice when I’m not acting like myself. There is usually a good reason for it. Just like you, I sometimes get overwhelmed and feel befuddled. Instead of judging and instantly reacting to me, ask if I’m OK. If you are caring and patient with me, I am more likely to calm down and revert to my genuine self instead of pulling away.
