[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to what others have said I would take some classes that can help you build these skills. PEP classes are great and can be done virtually. Parenting is hard and you are learning, you need to get some tools and put your kids first. I would also recommend seeing a therapist individually (can also be done virtually right now) to start working on how to communicate, express your emotions, etc. You need to get some support for yourself, that will really demonstrate commitment and love for your kids.

Here are the Pep classes: http://pepparent.org/[/quote]

Also want to say I think both of these is important, just one will likely not be enough. Doing the classes will help you with age appropriate expectations, what types of boundaries to hold and what to let go, and tools to connect. Therapy will help you implement by getting a little deeper to what’s been holding you back to connecting, or if you’re not ready to go that deep can just be focused on helping you with concrete things like this week try telling your kids you are proud of them when they do xyz, this week try x.
