It is tempting to only look at your child as if they are a normal person, but children will usually offer the best advice. Listen to them. Instead of reacting to every situation with a reaction, try to understand what they are saying. If you have a good relationship with your child, they will tell you what they need. If you don't have a good relationship with your child, it could lead to conflict between you. This article will offer some guidance on how you can avoid conflicts with your children.
Avoiding the temptation to take the "easy" way out in the moment
Sometimes it is tempting to give into your emotions in difficult situations. You might be tempted to get angry and frustrated, or threaten to leave your child alone to handle the situation. This can result in a strained relationship and possibly an eating disorder. Rather than succumbing to such impulses, you should look for support and guidance from friends and family.

Being your child's advocate
Being your child’s advocate can have many benefits. Although advocacy conversations can be challenging, they can be positive. You can begin by planning the conversation by putting your points into words. Work with the other party until you reach a mutually agreeable solution.
