The Value of a Strong Parent-Child Relationship

The importance of nurturing a relationship based on safety and trust between parents and children is emphasized. This relationship serves as a vital tool for lifelong discipline, as children thrive when they feel seen, understood, and supported by their parents. Parents are encouraged to make decisions with their children's best interests at heart, acknowledging that children subconsciously sense whether their parents are genuinely on their team. Even when parents set limits or say no, it’s crucial that children feel that this comes from a place of love and support rather than judgment or punishment.
