Embracing Parental Power

Parents are encouraged to recognize and embody their inherent power, which creates a foundational sense of safety and comfort for their children. The power dynamic between parents and children is significant, and when parents project confidence, it helps children feel secure. Acknowledging this power allows parents to be less reactive to challenging behaviors and provides a comforting presence for their children. By understanding that their responses can either empower or disempower children, parents can foster a positive environment where children feel secure in their development.
