Do you have a child that won't respect you?

Let me explain how this works to you since it seems to elude a vast majority of the general populace.

A child will not respect you unless you have a healthy, affectionate, trusting relationship.

Healthy attachment = respect & love.

*Blind obedience can sometimes come from fear but that's a whole different topic I'm not attacking here.*

Does your child regularly ignore/disrespect you? Then I'm willing to bet forming a healthy loving relationship with them is not #1 on your priority list. How much one-on-one time do you spend with your child just having fun each day? If the answer is less than 5-10 mins I'm sensing a problem here...

So let me reiterate this in case you missed it the first time:

HEALTHY ATTACHMENT = RESPECT & LOVE

That's it. Simple, yes, but the most important thing you can do for your child.

The end. Now go play with your kid already!
