Content: Unfortunately, they're often speaking in a language that parents don't understand. If you listen to their messages, verbal, emotional and behavioral, you'll be better able to hear what they're trying to tell you, particularly when they're asking for help. Also, don't be afraid to talk to your children, especially on topics that make you uncomfortable or they may not want to hear. Though they may not always seem like they're listening, your children want your guidance and support because they know that they can't go it alone and they need you are on their side. Focus on Others
The one form of externalization of self-identity that is healthy is when your children direct their focus and energies onto helping others. Healthy self-identity is built when your children are not preoccupied with themselves and experience the intrinsic rewards of improving the lives of others. I encourage you to make compassion and community service family values and experiences to be shared. Suggest a correction
