Educate on Good Parenting Skills

Parents are encouraged to form positive and nurturing relationships with their children by increasing positive physical intimacy. This can be done through showing signs of affection such as hugging your children and learning alternative methods to shaking, hitting, or spanking a child to punish them. A crucial aspect of improving the relationship is communication. By recognizing your child’s feelings and engaging an empathic conversation with them shows love. When faced with a difficult situation in which you might lose control, take a break until you can deal with the situation responsibly.
