- Understanding your child’s behaviour
Children communicate their needs through body and emotion as well. They do not communicate through logic or reasoning, therefore, seeing beneath behaviour is a responsibility as a parent. Trying to understand their needs or in case they are struggling in any situation, it is important to understand as a parent.
- Prioritizing your child’s needs
It is important to recognize that the parent is responsible of the child’s behaviour. It is crucial to prioritize the child’s well-being, needs and opinion than the external factors like societal pressure.
