Summary: Experts say that the interactions between parents and their children are more often about the way in which the parent responds than about behaviour. And that is why it's vitally important that we understand our patterns and triggers so we can work on changing them. If we can understand the trigger, the pattern, and be aware of the story we create around it, then we can do the work to move through it. Until we can shift out of a triggered mindset, the blame we put on our kids FOR triggering us will continue to sever our connection to them. This is an excerpt from a book called Parenting The Modern Teen written by our guest on The SuperDad Show, Louise Clarke.
