Nancy Rose, a Child Advocate, spoke to Lon Woodbury on "Parent Choices for Struggling Teens," which is a radio show on L.A. Talk Radio. She talked about the importance of raising the child you've got, not the one you want. Moms and dads who don't like their kid's core attributes, will cause the kid to get the idea that there is something inherently wrong with themselves. The host of the program, Lon Woodbury, is an Independent Educational Specialist. He has worked with families and struggling adolescents since 1984.
Nancy Rose
Nancy Rose has raised two sons and has spent more than 25 years studying the power of acceptance in parent-child relationships. A lawyer and accountant by profession, she now spends much of her time as a speaker, author and parent coach. In her new book, Raise the Child You've Got - Not the One You Want she addresses parents who long to re-establish a loving connection with their child.
Tips on How to Raise the Child You've Got, Not the One You Want
Nancy's book "Raise the Child You've Got--Not the One You Want," originated from her own individual experience. She grew up not really feeling appreciated by her Mom and because of her experience of emotional pain around her self-identity. She knew her Mom loved her, yet she was not convinced that her Mom liked her; so, she spent her entire youth trying to win her mother's approval. Only years later, when she came to be a mother herself did she find out how to begin to heal her own childhood angst.
During her early twenties, Nancy worked on raising her self-worth by becoming an academic super-achiever. Then she stirred from her "trance of accomplishment" when she finally understood that she had worked hard to become a tax lawyer and a CPA just to get her Mom to like her. Now, with a law degree from University of California in Berkeley, as well as a finance degree from the University of Illinois, she uses her know-how, experience, and credentials to passionately champion the emotional needs of children.
She has determined 9 characteristics of children for parents to identify their child's core nature -- activity, adaptability, distractibility, ease with the unfamiliar, intensity, optimism, persistence, regularity, and sensory reactivity. A child will only really feel accepted when his/her parents accept each trait, helps their child and offers parent management. By accepting a youngster's Core Self, it becomes a lot easier to raise the child you've got, not the one you want.
