Summary

The Day I Finally Changed Myself Instead of My Son My son was yelling and refusing to go to hockey practice. I reacted and escalated the situation. Then I decided to do something I’d never done: humble myself. But in reality, it was humiliating. Why was I, as the authority figure “worthy of respect,” the one changing here instead of the kid? I second-guessed myself as you will with these kids. But it ultimately changed that situation…and our relationship. And taught him life skills he uses to this day. Want more help?
