A good relationship with the child

Raising a child is not easy. It requires patience, commitment and consistency. Even though most parents want the best for their children, they still make mistakes, which might affect the child’s further life.

How to be a “good enough” parent and build a close relationship with your child? A parent should be like a safety pillow. The child must have space for their interests but also have protection. They must know that they have support from their parent and can count on them in case of any problems. It must be highlighted that there are no perfect parents, the parent should be “good enough”. Parents must listen to their children and meet their needs. It is also worth knowing what the child is interested in, what attracts their attention.

The conversation is also extremely important. A child is a conversation partner – regardless of whether they are a few years old or already a teenager. A child’s voice should be respected.
