Importance of Creating a Safe Space for Children
Parents have a responsibility to create a safe and stable environment for their children. It is not the child's duty to owe gratitude to their parents for meeting basic needs such as food and shelter. Children also require emotional closeness and love, and holding oneself accountable as a parent is crucial in fostering healthy relationships.
