Today’s Tip

Published April 6, 2021

Being a supportive parent means having your childโ€™s best interests at heart but also being present, involved, and helpful. It includes:
โ€ข actively encouraging them to do their best with school, their hobbies, and interests
โ€ข listening without judgment and seeking to understand their concerns and challenges
โ€ข acknowledging their achievements and supporting them through mistakes and challenges
โ€ข setting consistent expectations and consequences to help them to feel secure and able to predict outcomes
โ€ข treating them fairly and developing a trusting relationship.
The influence that you have over your child is more dependent on a trusting relationship than it is on how much authority you dish out and how many lectures you give. It may feel like theyโ€™re trying to push you away, but theyโ€™re actually trying to push themselves away from you to choose a direction in life, and to shape an identity for themselves as a separate, independent person.
Love, support, trust, and optimism from their family make them feel safe and secure and are powerful weapons against peer pressure, lifeโ€™s challenges, and disappointments.
Your aim is to keep your child safe and to give them the foundations they need to do their best. At a minimum they need:
โ€ข to know they are loved for who they are, and that you are always there to support them
โ€ข an environment where basic needs such as a safe and healthy place to live, healthy food, and school supplies are made a priority
โ€ข protection and support to keep themselves safe from mental and physical abuse
โ€ข respect for their feelings and concerns
โ€ข acknowledgement of their milestones and achievements such as birthdays or first day at school
โ€ข respect for their friends, clothing, sports and music choices, and interests.
