How to Transition to Conscious Parenting When You Were Raised Differently

You watched how you were raised perhaps with rigid rules, emotional distance, or a "toughen up" mentality and you promised yourself your children would have something different. More warmth. More understanding. A home where they could actually talk to you.

They don't want to go out and play like they used to. They snap at small things. They look sad sometimes, and when you ask what's wrong, they say "nothing" -and go back to their phone.
