No matter what it looks like in any given moment, rest assured that your child - whether a toddler or a teen - craves your love and approval. A hard-to-love youngster is in fact STARVING for love, but has given up believing that she can receive it. Now she acts tough, defiant, provocative - trying to at least get your attention if she can't have your love. Access your own love resources by focusing first on YOURSELF, remembering that you are lovable, loving and loved. Bathe yourself in love until it is overflowing and then, allow a little of that soft, forgiving energy to flow out to this child. Repeat over and over again, changing the dynamic of your relationship bit by bit until the relationship, and this child, both heal.
