One of the most critical and fragile relationships we encounter in our lives is between the parent and child. Children are sensitive at various stages in their development and parents have the balancing act going on. These days, time management doesn’t come easy to many families between career, housework, kids activities and keeping up with social engagements. Quality, family time has decreased and along with that so has communication.
Having a healthy relationship between the parent and child is imperative and emphasized because it lays the foundation and is a part of your child’s shaping as they get older. Children nowadays are easily influenced between peer pressure, social media and video gaming. They can quickly fall into negative patterns of behavior triggered by their moods based on what can be happening around them. This can include anger, depression, anxiety, stress, addictive behaviors and extend as far as suicidal thoughts.
