Understanding Their Perspective
Empathy and understanding your child's perspective is crucial to effective parenting. Instead of dismissing their concerns or struggles, it's important to put yourself in their shoes. Reflect on situations like sleeping in their bed or dealing with a strict coach to grasp their experiences. By truly seeing things from their viewpoint, parents can nurture empathy and make informed parenting decisions.
Embracing Empathy at Home
Applying empathy at home is vital for fostering healthy relationships with your children. Rather than solely focusing on obedience, delve into understanding their feelings and challenges. By empathizing with their fears and difficulties, parents can create a supportive environment based on compassion and connection. This approach enhances communication, strengthens bonds, and encourages mutual respect within the family.

Understanding and Empathizing with Your Child's Perspective
“We think they’re making excuses. We think they’re making stuff up. We just want them to go back and sleep in their bed. Or listen to their coach. Or get their work done. It’s fine, we tell them. Just give it a try. Wear your jacket, it’s not that uncomfortable. Do your homework, it’s not that difficult.”
Ryan explains why you should do your best to see things through your kids eyes, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
