The Importance of Presence in Parenting

Children are highly attuned to their parents' attention and presence, often reacting negatively when they sense a lack of engagement. This awareness drives their behavior; if they feel ignored due to distractions like phone use or work, they may act out or disregard rules. Conversely, when parents are genuinely present and attentive, children respond with improved behavior and a sense of safety. The implication is clear: maintaining presence is not just beneficial but essential for fostering positive interactions and a harmonious family environment.
