RECAP

Would you like your child to do well in school and in life?  Out of all of the parenting advice that you can receive, having a strong relationship with your child is the most important. Your relationship with your children impacts their future mental, physical, social and emotional health.  The quality of your relationship with your child is called attachment. When your child feels secure, understood and calm, they will have the best foundation for life. This feeling results in eagerness to learn, healthy self-awareness and empathy. This doesn’t mean you have to be a perfect parent, it means you should be warm, responsive and nurturing.
