Children change.
The parent that they need as infants is quite different than who they need as teenagers
- that is obvious.
But how do you know what they need?
There is a consistent pattern to their changes that shows up regardless of culture, gender or personality.
While you can and should respond to their individual uniqueness, the underlying pattern, based on a well-established theory of psychological development, provides a framework for knowing what approaches will support them and be most effective at each stage.
You can be the mum, dad or step-parent that your child needs you to be.
You can develop as a parent alongside their development as children.
