Every parent wants their children to become dragons and phoenixes, but some parents may be too strict when disciplining their children, ** type parents often educate their children with strict requirements and high standards, but this way may bring a psychological burden to children that they cannot get rid of.

Strict requirements, high standards.

* Parents often set many rules for their children and expect them to follow them strictly. This type of parenting can indeed make children become disciplined, but it can also make them feel pressured to express their true thoughts.

Children are not puppets, they have their own thoughts and feelings. Being heavily regulated for a long time, not being able to freely express one's thoughts and feelings, and even having a negative impact on the child's mental health.

So how can this be changed?

Emotional communication is indispensable.

Daily conversations: Spend time each day chatting with your child without topics to learn about their daily life, feelings, friends, school, etc.

Listening: When children share with you, really listen to them, without interrupting or judging, just giving them attention and response.

Physical contact: Physical contact such as hugging, kissing, holding hands, etc., can convey emotional support and closeness.

Co-activity: Participate in children's interests, play games, do crafts, watch movies, etc., with them, and strengthen the emotional bond between parents and children.

In addition to rules and discipline, children also need emotional support from their parents to build a more intimate relationship with their children

The above forms of emotional communication are all good places to start.
