Your children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of the longing
of life for themselves
You may give them your love,
but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
You may give their bodies a house,
but not their souls,
for their souls live in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams.

 

(Excerpt from The Prophet – Your Children by Khalil Gibran)

In surveys, most people say that family is the most important thing for them.

In times of upheaval and especially today in times of Covid-19, family relationships sometimes get out of kilter.
The birth of a new family member in particular often turns established roles upside down or puberty – a time of fundamental upheaval – presents you and your children with new challenges. As the mother of a teenager, I also bring a lot of my own experience to the table, which I would like to contribute. The topic of patchwork families is also playing an increasingly central role these days. I am also happy to accompany you on these topics as a competent and empathetic relationship coach. When the children leave home, parents and mothers in particular enter a new phase of life in which emptiness and grief often arise, the empty nest syndrome. Re-examine your relationship with yourself and new, wonderful paths will open up.

Relationship coaching should serve as a guide for parents, improve the relationship between parents, strengthen parental presence, but also make their boundaries clear to young people and thus relieve them.

A change of perspective can work wonders on both sides, making relationships possible again and helping each family member to appreciate the family as a beautiful community again.
