As they age, children have a natural tendency to pull away from their
parents in order to explore who they are
independently.
http://www.SharonBallantine.com“Parenting with the Law of Attraction in Mind”
Many factors including birth order, genetics, and socialization contribute to when this will occur
and to what degree.

Some kids will model themselves after
another person while differentiating
themselves from their parents. They may choose a sibling, a
hero, or a close friend as their model.

Seeing kids change before their eyes can be disconcerting for some
parents, especially if the change goes against how a kid might have
previously been representing themselves.

When a previously clean-cut son grow his hair long and wears shoddy clothes, or a
little girl starts wearing thick makeup and “immodest” clothes, parents can
easily grow disconcerted.

Some kids will shift styles quickly or adopt a style with the specific intent
of shocking or alarming a parent. Changes can be temporary or lasting.

While some kids may choose to express individuality through altering their
physical appearance, others may do so by venturing into different kinds of
social and creative activities.

It is not uncommon for some kids to change up their peer groups or drop
their old friends and take up with new ones. They could potentially choose to
explore joining in with a crowd that you may not approve of.

You may find yourself asking,
“What can I do?”
http://www.SharonBallantine.com“Parenting with the Law of Attraction in Mind”
It is important to recognize that you can
only control your children to a certain
point. Also, you want to empower your children
to grow into independent adults.
http://www.SharonBallantine.com“Parenting with the Law of Attraction in Mind”
You may not always like the choices that your kids make, but recognize that growing up is a time for kids to try new things. By trying new styles, social activities, sports, classes, and
friendships, your kids will learn more about who they are and who they
hope to become.
http://www.SharonBallantine.com“Parenting with the Law of Attraction in Mind”
Your challenge as a parent is to embrace and support your kids for who they are. This could mean giving up your dreams about who you thought they might grow
up to be.
http://www.SharonBallantine.com“Parenting with the Law of Attraction in Mind”
You might be called to step back and hold space for them, while
they test out what it feels like to be growing into early adulthood.

Cultivate a strong practice of tuning into your Internal Guidance System (IGS) to determine when you need to step in and provide guidance and when it is best to
let your kids work things through on their own.

crave love. They may roll their eyes when you ask for a hug in
front of their friends, but don’t let that fool
you.

love and smothering your kids.
