Why Do You Need It?
- Every child is unique, so their parents’ relationships with them will be unique as well. Sometimes, a child’s personality can bring out different sides of their parents, and parents may relate to a child in a more favorable or unfavorable manner. Therefore, for the growth of the child, it is important to understand the personality of both parents and children.
- The problems from the parent’s side include lack of boundaries, rejection, restrictiveness, and overprotection, overindulgence, substance abuse, and unrealistic expectations from children. The parent-child relationship problem can permeate into multiple aspects of life. It is therefore very important to work out the discrepancies and misunderstanding between the parent-child at an early stage for personal growth and career development.
- Research indicates that poor communication in families leads to disconnection, isolation, depression, anxiety, and stress among children.
- 70% of parents say that they “struggle to communicate meaningfully” with their kids.
