Nancy Rose spoke to Lon Woodbury on Parent Choices for Struggling Teens, a radio show on L.A. Talk Radio, about how to raise the child you've got, not the one you want. Parents who refuse to accept their children's core nature, will cause the child to pick up the idea that there is something wrong with them. The host of the show, Lon Woodbury, is an Independent Educational Consultant and has worked with families and struggling teens since 1984.
About Nancy Rose
Nancy Rose has raised 2 kids and has actually spent more than 25 years studying the power of acceptance in parent-child relationships. Although a tax attorney and accountant by career, she now invests much of her time as a speaker, writer and parenting coach. In her new book, "Raise the Child You've Got--Not the One You Want," she helps parents who long to re-establish a caring relationship with their kid.
How to Raise the Child You've Got, Not the One You Want
Raise the Child You've Got - Not the One You Want is a book that originated from personal experience. Nancy grew up not feeling understood by her mother and as a result experienced painful feelings around her own identity. She knew her mother loved her, but did not feel her mother liked her; so, she spent her childhood trying to get her mother to like her. Only later, when she became a mother herself did she figure out how to heal her own childhood wounds.
Nancy obtained her self-esteem during her twenties by becoming a scholastic super-achiever. Then she awakened from her "hypnotic trance of achievement" when she understood that she had become a tax lawyer and an accountant simply to please her mother. Now, with a law and finance degree, the law degree from the University of California, Berkeley and the degree in finance from the University of Illinois, she puts her understanding, experiences, and qualifications to serve her passion for making sure every child is allowed to shine.
She has identified 9 traits for parents to identify who their child is at their core -- activity, adaptability, distractibility, ease with the unfamiliar, intensity, optimism, persistence, regularity, and sensory reactivity. A child will only feel accepted when his or her parents accept each trait, offer guidance and provide parent leadership. By accepting a child's Core Self, it becomes much easier to raise the child you've got, not the one you want.
