Relating to your children with respect, what does that mean? You know, how does it translate into being a good parent? Between the ages of 6 and 12 getting the kids to cooperate, do chores and be responsible for homework could test the limits of your patience and leave you wondering just how effective is your parenting. Your school age child has more autonomy and independence. She is also affected by peers, and other outside influences beyond your control. And, there are social and family issues that are more complex. Discipline strategies that worked when the children were younger may not be appropriate anymore and you find yourself pulled in several directions. In our fast-paced world you can feel like a juggler trying to keep many plates in the air at the same time and it takes all your attention and energy. You feel stressed and the children are out of contro.
