PART B_2

The relationship between toddlers and their parents
A positive parent-child relationship is important for child development. It helps improve the child’s physical, emotional, and social skills. Parent-child relationship also affects a child’s personality and overall behavior.
According to some studies, children who have a good relationship with their parents grow with secure and healthy relationships with other people. Also, they have the ability to handle their emotions during stressful and difficult situations. These traits are often shaped by parenting styles. However, not all parents have the same parenting style. Some parents believe that kids should always follow rules without exception. Others like to set rules and give consequences to the child’s action. They also make sure that they listen to their child’s opinion. While some parents like to be involved only when there are some serious problems and do not spend much time with their children.
If parents want to have a strong relationship with their children, they need to develop a positive parenting style. Warm and loving interactions with their children are essential to building a strong bond. Parents should show their children that they love them through spending time together. They could play games with their children during free time or eat meals together and have a good conversation. Keep in mind that actions speak louder than words. Establishing boundaries, rules, and consequences might also come in handy. But most importantly, listen to their children. Acknowledge their feelings and show them that you are on the ball. Parents should be the example, so respect should start within themselves.
