What is Parenting and Why Is It Important?
The American Psychological Association says that a high-quality parent-child relationship is critical for healthy development. The job of parenting aims to ensure children's health and safety, prepare children for life as productive adults, transmit cultural values, and more. Parents want the best for their children, but well-meaning mothers and fathers can still struggle with issues related to conflict, discipline, and peace in the home.
Parenting Can Be Tough
No Matter The Age of Your Child
Parents with young children may be dealing with noncompliance, disobedience, sleep issues, picky eating, tantrums, potty training, school anxiety, and general behavior problems. And parents with older kids may have more problems with their teen and issues regarding disrespect, following rules, screen time, conflict, boundaries, attitudes, acting out, emotional struggles, and visitation refusal (for divorced families).
