It's up to you to realize how important it is for you.
- Your going to hear it again: Talk to your kids. You want them to be able to come to you when they are feeling scared or upset. You don't want them to be scared of you.. You should be 1 of childs best freinds ( But keep in mind you are still there parent... You want to be to much of a friend because then you'll be letting them get away with whatever they want) They need you more then you think when it comes to having some one to talk to.. And no matter what try to keep an open mind when they are telling you what is bothering them..
