Take responsibility for mistakes you’ve made in your
relationships with your kids. Reflect on how your own bad choices about
how to relate to your kids in the past may have contributed to the
difficult relationship you have with them right now. Have you neglected
to spend enough time with your kids, or to pay enough attention to the
details of their lives? Have you been too lenient when you should have
provided more guidance and boundaries? Have you failed to communicate
your love to them in ways they can understand? Whatever you may have
done to contribute to current relationship problems between you and your
kids, know that you can redeem your mistakes if you honestly
acknowledge them and seek to learn from them. Be sure to apologize to
your kids for your mistakes, too, because doing so will help strengthen
your relationships with them and make them better people.
