Are you providing safety for your child?

We all worry about our child's safety. This episode I am talking to you about the magic bullet in relationships. Creating emotional safety. When we are talking about emotional safety we mean creating safe place so that your child does not feel as if you are at risk of harm or danger and with emotional safety it means knowing that you will not be criticized, blamed, rejected, invalidated or dismissed by your parent.
If your partner does not share with you, if your partner shuts down, if your partner finds it easier to talk to other people than to talk to you, instead of engaging in name calling and blaming and saying things such as “you’re secretive,” “you don’t know how to express yourself,” “you never talk,” “you’re such a coward,” “you don’t respect me,” etc, Turn inward and ask yourself:

What am I doing or not doing that is causing my child to not feel comfortable sharing with me?

What can I do to show my child that I am interested in what they want to share and I am committed to holding a safe space for them to express themselves fully?

Today I give you 6 ways to create emotional safety in your relationship with your LGBTQ child.
