Children have immense emotional needs, and parents themselves often have unmet emotional needs stemming from their own childhood experiences, necessitating the development of self-care techniques.
Understanding how our own upbringing, particularly experiences of parentification, shapes our parenting can empower us to make conscious choices that support our children's emotional growth.
Parents can learn to manage their triggers, as grasping one's own emotional responses enables better support for children navigating their own feelings, especially in challenging moments.
To avoid repeating dysfunctional parenting cycles, parents must recognize their unmet needs and actively work towards self-care to cultivate healthier emotional environments for their children.
