[Mother Therapy] The benefit of parents’ stepping in when needed

 

What do you think about parents' close attention to their children when raising them? Is it necessarily a bad thing? There's a lot of talk these days about respecting your child's wishes, so if you're teaching and guiding them, that's a poor parenting method, but I don't think that's necessarily true.

Of course, it can be counterproductive to interfere too much in a child's life when they're forming their own ideas, but on the other hand, there are times when a parent's attention to detail can be invaluable, especially when a child is adjusting to a new environment or struggling to figure out how to relate.

For example, a first grader who is new to elementary school may not know how to relate to their friends, teachers, or school in general, and if you give them small reminders like, “Smile and say hi to your friends,” or “Listen to the teacher in class and raise your hand if you want to speak up,” they will feel less intimidated and less likely to be misunderstood. It's a way of teaching them how to deal with awkward situations before they ever have to face them, and it also helps them to feel more confident and secure if you're paying attention to them and praising and encouraging them when they do something well, no matter how small.

The same strategy can be applied with adolescence, when a child is going through an unstable period, and if you're able to stay on top of things, quietly intervene only when needed, and offer praise and encouragement, they feel that you really care about them. It's important not to be too intrusive, but to be there when they need you.

Just as there is no one right way to live a life, there is no one right way to raise a child. Giving attention isn't always a bad thing, and it's important to use it appropriately, depending on the child's personality, situation, and environment. A parent's presence, with advice and praise when needed, can help a child adapt to new environments, feel more secure, and develop healthy psychology.
