When we know what healthy relationships are, we can teach this to our children. The key is that healthy relationships feel good and unhealthy relationships feel bad. Our feelings will tell us if we are modelling healthy or unhealthy relationships. Let's model healthy relationships with our kids.

It all started with a dinner party with friends sharing about our childhood pain and how this experience impacted our lives. In the end, we all were determined not to repeat the trauma, neglect, abuse with our own children but instead we would be committed to healing and change our parenting so our kids would be healthy and thrive.
