Conditional Love

 

Agree or disagree? To me this is a loaded statement. I find it to be true more often than I’d like, and in interactions with both kids and adults.

How often is your mood determined by how your kids are behaving?

Do you get involved because it gives you peace of mind that you were in control (although you probably weren’t)?

It’s really important to understand what your motive is - to feel better or to do what’s really going to bring out the best in your teen.

This is classic codependency. Don't shy away from the word. It's much more common than you think.

Being aware of it in your behavior helps you choose to move towards happiness and joy, regardless of what the other person is doing.
