Becoming Friends With Your Children

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan

Being friends with your children isn’t a one-way street. It isn’t just about getting them to open up to you and be their confidant– although that’s important – it is about allowing them to help you grow in virtue and often that’s through your own self-reflection on how you can develop more virtue in the relationship with your son or daughter.

It would be a disorder for children to correct their parents or tell them what they’re doing wrong. But in the parent/adult child friendship, a son or daughter can point out ways you can grow as a person.
