There are four key roles parents play when raising a child – Laurie Beth Morales
- The Observer – No advice, feedback, or opinions are given here. Your job is to act as a sounding board and nothing more.
- The Consultant – Share your thoughts and perspectives w/out a stake in the outcome. The choice is theirs.
- The Negotiator – Here you need to make an appointment to discuss a deep dive topic. Otherwise, the timing might not be right. Keep it short and sweet.
- The Decision-Maker – There is no compromise here. My word is the final word. For matters of intervention and of a serious nature.
