Parenting

Parenting is a journey filled with both challenges and triumphs, as Sal Di Stefano and Adam Schafer discuss. Sal shares a personal story about the difficulties of co-parenting and setting boundaries with his teenage daughter, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between being firm and showing love 1. He reflects on the struggle of wanting to make his daughter happy while also ensuring she understands the importance of boundaries 2.

It's neglectful when you don't give your kids boundaries, even if the kid says they like it, they actually feel like mom and dad don't care for me.

--- Sal Di Stefano

Adam adds that learning from parenting experts like Erica Komisar has shifted his perspective on the importance of both quality and quantity time with children 3.

   

Affection

Showing affection and being aware of its impact on children is crucial, as Adam Schafer notes. He reflects on the importance of displaying affection openly so that his son can witness and learn from it, despite it feeling like work at times 4. Adam acknowledges that his wife, Katrina, plays a significant role in encouraging him to express affection, which strengthens their family bond.

She's a good strengthener for you. So she gets you, she understands you, allows you to grow and encourages you.

--- Sal Di Stefano

Additionally, Adam shares a story about a client who initially seemed difficult but later revealed how much she valued his support, highlighting the importance of consistency and being a positive influence in others' lives 5.
