Strength + Flexibility = REAL Security
When you reject authoritarian parenting, you may inadvertently create a “power vacuum” that leads to family chaos. You may then be tempted to resort to authoritarian tactics, but that would be filling the vacuum with pseudo-power.
What your children really need is for you to connect with your Authentic Power. When you do, you’ll exude a powerful presence that makes them feel secure but not threatened.
Being a solid presence is not the same as being rigid. You can be strong AND flexible.
Improve Your Groove
Today, as you interact with your child, practice being open-minded and flexible while also connecting with your true sources of strength and power: your heart, your creativity, and your inner freedom.
Remember that your powerful presence is not a product of what you do, it’s the essence of Who You Are.
