As parents it’s natural to want our children to choose certain things or make particular choices so that they can have a certain outcome. But all too often we really want them to do that so we can appear a certain way as a parent and we can feel like we were successful in our parenting role.  Releasing our children of certain expectations doesn’t stop once they leave our home or reach the age of adulthood. Coach Tiffany Rhoton doesn’t feel like expectations are bad but they can be damaging to the parent child relationship if we base our relationship and love on those expectations being met. We want our kids to buy into their choices because they want to or not do something, not because they feel they have to be a certain way to make us feel better or gain our love and acceptance. Tiffany cannot stress enough the importance of basing your success as a parent on what you can control and then allowing your young adult children to make their own decisions. Hard to do, but so important for your children’s development and your relationship with them.
