[quote=Anonymous]My mother was always very involved in my life growing up- always volunteering with my various activities - but she was not very emotionally available. She was/is an empathetic listener, but never had any advice to offer or opinions to share. I do an understand letting children make their own mistakes, but this was more emotional underdevelopment than an intentional attempt at building resilience in her kids. She will learn so much from watching you and how you move through life. Here are a few things I am working hard to exemplify for my DD (and DSs, too) that I didn’t learn from my own mom: Model loving, emotionally mature relationships and strong communication. Show her how to use her voice to share her opinions and feelings, and remind her that her voice is valued. Be open with your emotions, positive and negative, so she can learn how to express and regulate her own. [/quote]
