[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"By the same token, they're likely to far surpass you in other respects. HELP THEM BE THEM; DON'T EXPECT THEM TO BE YOU." This really hit home for me. I need to think hard about this and just don't know where to start. [b]Can anyone recommend a book or other starting point to change how I relate to the DC so unlike me?[/b][/quote] http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Blessings-Inner-Mindful-Parenting/dp/0786883146 It's not directly on point, but much of the book is about how to understand and manage your own emotions and needs in order to be present with your children and curious about who they are as individuals in their own right -- not as extensions of yourself, your strengths or your needs. It's deep stuff, but also very powerful if it resonates. Worth a try.[/quote]
