Importance of Being Encouraging

As a dad, it's easy to slip into a pattern of negativity, constantly saying 'no' or criticizing our kids. While this can stem from good intentions, it can create a negative atmosphere and strain the relationship. To foster a healthy connection with our kids, it's essential to be encouraging and positive.
