   Many Parent don’t intereste of being with their children and Is very important because what you speak to your child, it will remain in her memory and give to her the vision of how you were important to him.

   Good advice of course. Have you got some encouragement for adult children too?
   I find my adult children are too hard on themselves. As they were growing up, if anything, I may have tended to “spoil them” a little, because the other parent (I felt) was “too hard on them (and me)” and I may have overcompensated. But it seems I am seen more as “the bad guy”.

   They seem to sell themselves short and not allow themselves to dream. How can you have hope, if you can’t imagine a good life? It seems like they have already “given up”.

   Do you have any “pep talks” for parents who can give their adult children some good (but brief “one-liner” advice, without sounding too condescending to them. It seems no matter what I say to one of my adult children, he reads into it, things I didn’t say at all. If I say “think positive” my comments are often ridiculed. (I am trying to build my self esteem up also). And I can’t say anything without either hurting them, or seeming “too” positive. I don’t think you can ever be too positive, but apparently you can.
   I have read and watched webinars that say “avoid negative people”. Well, I love my kids, but if I have to avoid them for awhile, then I guess I may have to. Are there any suggestions of “key phrases” that might work, to encourage them without getting in to deep in a conversation they are not open to anyway?

   I think a good way to raise your children is to teach them HOW they could think, not WHAT they should think. There is a vast difference in this. But before that, it is important to have good communication and also understand that we are beings of “emotions”. People and children many times will forget what you said, but the indeed remember how you made them FEEL at that moment.

   Just felt like adding this as a complementary to the video.

   Make Life worth living and share thoughts and ideas that can change peoples lifes.

   Sincerely,

   Andreas
