148. The Difference Between Love and Connection

Sometimes as parents, it's easy to assume that because we love our children so much, our level of connection with them is equally strong. In reality, these are two very different things. Deep parental love is being willing to lay down your life for your kids. Connection, on the other hand, is where we feel seen, heard, and valued by another person, and requires a different level of openness.   Tune in this week to discover why kids need deep connection, what real connection actually looks like, how connecting with your kids in childhood creates a better relationship as they get older, and why working on your own mindset is key.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thepeacefulparent.com/148
