One day we were great and the next day they turned into a teenager and started ignoring me. If you can resonate with any of those comments, you’re not alone. These are common things I hear my clients say. Parents, all over have their hearts broken because they feel the closeness, they once had with their child get further and further away. Well, today we are going to talk about how to reconnect with your son or daughter to build a stronger bond. Hello. My name is Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent. I help parents of school aged children turn their chaos into connection with their adolescence. I am a mom of 4 kids, a teacher that has taught every grade from pre-school to high school, and today I help moms and dads, like yourself, to navigate the exhausting, confusing, frustrating, and rewarding world of parenting. WELCOME TO THE IMPACTFUL PARENT! Are you looking to rebuild and strengthen the bond with your child? Whether you've drifted apart over time or have faced challenges in your relationship, taking steps to reconnect is crucial. In this article, we will explore 5 effective strategies for rebuilding a stronger bond with your child. How to reconnect with your son or daughter #1 Exam Your Communication: Figure out where your communication breaks down. To do this, write down what YOUR communication to your son or daughter for one full day. DO NOT write how she responds. You are only writing what you are communicating to your child. Your documentation might look something like: At 8am I said good morning. At 8:15 I asked her if she finished her homework last night At 8:30 She asked me if she could go to a friend’s house after school and I said no. Many times, we discover how often we are nagging our children, saying no to their requests, or only communicating in a transactional way. If this is the case for you too, here are some tips to move from unwanted communication to a form of communication that your child will be more open to hearing. If you are nagging too much, try using other forms of communication to get those reminders and messages across. Use sticky notes in their bathroom mirror. Use a sticky not on their car steering wheel. Text them your message. Have a relative call your child to say hello and relay your message for you. Be creative with your communication. If you find that you are always saying NO to your child’s requests, try coupling your no with a yes. What I mean is, for every no you give your child, give them a yes answer too. It will look something like this. “I am sorry you can’t go hang out with your friends today after school because we already have plans but ask your friend if they could meet up with you tomorrow after school instead. And if you find most of your communication is transactional (and this happens all the time for several reasons but the most common I see is because the parent doesn’t want to rock the boat and start an argument so they keep things transactional s

Transcript or Impactful Points of this Blog Parent can kill a child’s self-esteem and not even know they are doing it! Did you have a parent like that? Many parents reflect the blame. They think, “I compliment my child all the time! How could I be hurting my child’s self-esteem? Well, parents do unintentionally destroy their child’s self-esteem, but I do not want YOU to do that! Today we are going to talk about 12 ways that parents unintentionally destroy their child's self-esteem. Hello. My name is Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent. I help parents of school aged children turn their chaos into connection with their adolescence. I am a mom of four kids, a teacher that has taught every grade from pre-school to high school, and today I help moms and dads, like yourself, to navigate the exhausting, confusing, frustrating, and rewarding world of parenting. WELCOME TO THE IMPACTFUL PARENT! Let’s get started. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #1: Overprotection. When parents do everything for their child, they may unknowingly send the message that the child is not capable of tackling tasks independently. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #2: Not allowing kids to make decisions. Making all the decisions for the child can undermine their sense of autonomy and make them feel like their opinions and choices do not matter. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #3: Neglect When parents fail to provide emotional support, validation, and attention, children may internalize the belief that they are not important or worthy of love. This lack of emotional connection can significantly impact their self-esteem and overall well-being. Also, don’t forget about micro-neglect. This is a term I use to describe when a parent pays “half-ass” attention to their child. For example, the parent shows with their body language or words that they are not interested in what the child is saying. Or the parent intentionally withholds affection from their child because they were “bad.” Sometimes micro-neglect comes out when a parent ignores a child because they are too busy with work or other adult obligations. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #4: Trying to Make Them Happy All the Time I call this the “everyone gets a ribbon” problem. Many children do not know how to take loss anymore due to society giving everyone a prize and not allowing the child to experience defeat. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #5: Never apologizing. This makes the child feel less and unimportant. Over time, a child can feel unworthy of an apology. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #6: Rushing to help too soon. This sends the message to the child that they are not capable of doing the activity without help. It inadvertently tells kids that “I don’t believe you can accomplish this task.” How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #7: Comparison. Comparing a child to their siblings, peers, or other children can be damaging to their self-esteem. When parents constantly compare their child to others, they send the message that the child is not good enough as they are. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #8: Being too critical and name calling. Parents who regularly insult or belittle their child may cause them to feel worthless and inadequate. (“You are so lazy,” “that was stupid of you.”) Critical comments from parents like, “You could have tried harder,” or “You should have done this instead,” can also erode a child’s self-esteem. How parents unintentionally hurt their child’s self-esteem #9: Expectations and Pressure Expectations will cause children to feel constant stress to perform perfectly. This can lead to feelings of failure and a diminished sense of self-worth. This is true of most expectations ranging from expecting your child to be heterosexual to viewing your child as an extension of yourself. Even hoping for your child to succeed in ways that you did not could be a slippery slope. How parents unintentionally h
