Parenting
as a
Friend

Introduction

A lot of people will argue that discipline should be on top of a friendship with our kids. But it does not have to be one or the other, it is just that is more natural and easier to get a disciplined child while being a Friend, but not only that, leaving our kids without a feeling of belonging to us their parents, to go out and search for that bond in the street has become really dangerous.

It may be the the other side of the comfort of our lives, but now everybody have tools these days to communicate, hide, and get away, all this when at reach of a vulnerable child can work against her/him.

We have to understand that kids will pick the right examples and rules from us their parents, but first we have to be close to them. They have to understand that before judging them or seeing them as an improvement personal project we see them as equals, as friends and that they can always can count with us.... and with no one else.
