Stop Trying to be Your Child’s Friend. Instead, Be Their Parent.

So, you want to be the “cool parent.” You want to be your kid’s buddy.

It’s super tempting, especially when you see your child growing up and desperately want to stay connected.

You think maybe if you act like their buddy, you’ll know everything that’s going on in their life.

Makes sense. We all want that.

But wait a minute.
