You gotta sit and talk with your kids..
Break down that barrier.. that whole "your my parent you wont understand" stigma
I speak with my daughter like on a real level..
Everyday!!
i ask.. How was class.. did you have any issues today at school.. do you think something may have happened to cause any issues .. like.. i ask ask ask...
And i let her know like yo.. its better for you to tell me whats up NOW.. instead of me finding out later...
i still make sure she has respect for me as a father and authority figure .. but i dont want her to feel like she cant talk to me..
shyt makes me sad man..
