I have always considered our family a close one.  Our two boys would come to bed with us at night, each with their book, read and fall asleep.  If my husband does not travel, he would carry them to their beds.  In the morning, they would come back in, and we would either talk or play games with them.  When he is out of town, I usually let them sleep with me and we would have the same routines for night time and morning time.  I have always enjoyed these times, recognizing that they would not last forever, whereas my husband would be a little annoyed with the boys.  But, he usually acquiesced our special times would carry on.  That was and still remains one of my favorite times with the boys. 
 
Then the dreadful day came with my oldest....too soon for me to even recall exactly when.  Somewhere in the middle of his 6th grade year, my son Tag started to exhibit strong desire for independence.  One of the ways he was doing this was to stop having close physical contact with me and my husband.  Not only was I missing this closeness, my younger son Michael was also missing his older brother.  Things got worse as Tag's interests began to change.  He was now into girls and social activities way much more than reading and sports.  Our communications began to only include questions and answers and very little interactions.  Often times I ended up yelling and storming upstairs.  It got to a point where I became miserable and decided to get some help.
 
After only a couple of sessions with Linda I saw all kinds of opportunities to improve our relationship.  I realize that I was (unintentionally) treating Tag as an incapable child needing help with everything to make it in life -- even though I know he is smart and mature beyond his age -- that was just the way I learned how to treat my children.  I was always giving "how to" instructions and parenting with a fear based philosophy.  Talking to Linda helped me see that I needed to look for the message behind the behavior.  I started my change by telling Tag that I was robbing him of opportunities to be independent.  I started to do away with the reward and punishment model and implemented a win/win agreement.  When the boys talk to me now I make a conscious decision to listen to what they need versus me telling them what I think they need.  I'd began to focus on letting the boys feel empowered by allowing them to make decisions, both small and big.  I say yes more often and no less.  Both boys, especially Tag is happier and more cooperative.  
 
One rainy day last week, John was out of town so Michael slept in my bed.  In the morning we were in bed talking about how much more fun we used to have when Tag was part of our morning routine.  We both agreed that we missed him terribly.  Then I went and told Tag about our conversation and he didn't say much.  We went to the bookstore later that day and each boy got to buy a few books for summer reading.  We came home and spent two hours in the basement (thank God for a tornado warning ;-) ) reading.  Even though we were all reading and had very little conversation, I was over the moon happy with the time spent.   That was priceless.  In the evening Tag came in to my bed with the rest of his books and waited for me and Michael to join him.  He did it on his own without us asking.  I told him how much the whole day meant to me and he gave me the biggest smile.
