Connecting with Our Children

I am a Love Coach and not a family coach. I don’t typically deal with family issues, except for relationships between husbands and wives.

But I am a mom and, as a mom, I can’t help but notice when my clients are feeling disconnected from their children. And I can’t help but notice that those same clients also tend to feel disconnected in general.

Coincidence? I don’t think so. I don’t have the research to prove this, but I suspect that people who are disconnected from their children have trouble connecting with others, both adults and children. I suspect their hearts are closed. That does not make them bad people. In fact, people whose hearts are closed are closed up because of past hurts, not because they are heartless.

But having a closed-up heart does make people and their children feel as if something is missing. The dream of what having a child is supposed to be like – the feelings of connection and joy – is missing for the most part for these parents and their kids.

It just so happens that I have been publicly coaching a lady named Jodi on how to attract the love of her life and that she happens to be a mom who feels disconnected from her children. And she just so happens to feel generally disconnected.

Jodi and I spoke in the phone in a coaching session to help her connect with her children, so that she can have the experience of feeling closer to them and help her kids to have the experience of emotional intimacy with their mom. I recorded our coaching session and with Jodi’s permission have published it in a podcast format below for you.

As a result of our prior email/blog coaching and the telephone coaching session you can hear below, Jodi decided to make amends to her children for some of her past actions. Read her moving open letter to her children on her blog and follow the links from there to what happens next in my coaching Jodi to attract a healthy relationship.

Listen to me coach Jodi on how to get closer to her children (24 minutes):

From the Heart,
Love Coach Rinatta

    Thank you for this article. I have realized and learned a lot especially when I read Jodi’s letter for her children.
