Nancy Rose spoke to Lon Woodbury on Parent Choices for Struggling Teens, a radio show on L.A. Talk Radio, about how to raise the child you've got, not the one you want. Parents who refuse to accept their children's core nature, will cause the child to pick up the idea that there is something wrong with them. The host of the show, Lon Woodbury, is an Independent Educational Consultant and has worked with families and struggling teens since 1984.
Nancy Rose
Nancy Rose has raised 2 kids and has actually spent more than 25 years studying the power of acceptance in parent-child relationships. Although a tax attorney and accountant by career, she now invests much of her time as a speaker, writer and parenting coach. In her new book, "Raise the Child You've Got--Not the One You Want," she helps parents who long to re-establish a caring relationship with their kid.
Tips on How to Raise the Child You've Got, Not the One You Want
Nancy's insightful book,"Raise the Child you've Got, Not the One You Want" originated from her own personal experiences growing up. She grew up not really feeling understood by her mother and because of this experienced agonizing feelings around her own identity. She knew her mother loved her, yet did not feel her mother liked her; as a consequence, she spent her childhood trying to convince her mom to like her. It was only many years later, when she became a mother herself that she was able to determine how she could begin to recover from her own childhood hurts.
Until her twenties, Nancy got her self-worth by becoming an academic super-achiever. Then she awakened from her "trance of accomplishment" when she realized that she had become a tax attorney and a CPA only to impress her mother. Now, with a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and a degree in finance from the University of Illinois, she puts her knowledge, experience, and credentials to serve her passion for making sure every child is given permission to shine.
She has identified 9 traits for parents to identify who their child is at their core -- activity, adaptability, distractibility, ease with the unfamiliar, intensity, optimism, persistence, regularity, and sensory reactivity. A child will only feel accepted when his or her parents accept each trait, offer guidance and provide parent leadership. By accepting a child's Core Self, it becomes much easier to raise the child you've got, not the one you want.
