- About Me:
- Mother of 2 boys. Children's Advocate. Conversations w/God & A Course in Miracles follower. I've a site of my own: www.elclubdetodos.com & a blog: www.kimbaspathsblogspot.com. Both speak of who I am and what I do for themselves.
- About my teenager:
- My son is in his mids 15 years old. He is a noble soul and a greenpeace heart one as well. Being an Indigo he has experienced most of the common "struggles" for putting it in a way because of his attitude toward almost everything: not having a best friend ever and when one comes up and looks like friendship is a true one, something happens and it all ends quickly and not very smoothly leaving my son hurt and doubtful on his own skills of being a friend. He knows he is really smart and tends to be lazy on this, his self-esteem has improved little by little but we are still on the way and there is still much "work" to do on this subject and this is why I have joined this network. Other issue we both need to work with is the one related with my sons dog... an adopted, 2 year old airedale terrier who is my sons love but when issues relating to the way of training Risco 8the dog's name) we start to quarrel and not agree on almost a thing on this... I've warned him that this attitude goes on, Risco will have to go... he simply replied most defiantly: try it! and I am sure something will be lost in my relationship between us should I really get rid of the dog... I certainly need help as this is driving me nuts, I am loosing my patience here and I think I am loosing my son's confidence which is what worries and hurts me most. I am a single mother, separated to get divorced this year and although octavio (my son's name) seems to be ok, I suspect this is not quite true...
- The one question I would like to ask Sarah.
- How can I help and how should I act towards my son in regards to his not strong enough self-esteem and how should I deal with the dogs issue?
- My biggest challenge.
- to truly be able to understand and maintain a healthy and lovable relationship with my teenager.

You can never really be your child's friend and a great parent what are you really trying to achieve here?
Where do you think you are been over protective and what has you do that?
Sarah
1. to help strengthten my son's self esteem,
2. to regard me as his friend and not just his mom,
3. to clarify for myself whether I am being overprotective or not and if so, how to overcome that for both's sake.
Tell me in three clear objectives what you want to achieve?
Sarah
