Science confirms: Being your child’s friend isn’t just ineffective—it’s holding them back. The beautiful truth? Those boundaries and limits you set today are exactly what makes your child feel secure and loved. Studies show children with strong parental guidance (not friendship) are: - More emotionally stable - Better at handling peer pressure - More successful academically - More resilient long-term And for parents wondering when friendship can bloom? Research shows it happens naturally in adulthood when your child has developed their own identity. Share this with a parent who needs to hear this today 🙏 If you’d like to attend a workshop to learn about effective parenting styles, boundary setting, routines and connection , DM me and I will share the details :) Research references : Dr. Lisa Damour and Dr.Steinberg found that children with friend-like parents struggle significantly with anxiety, decision-making, and emotional regulation. Dr. Diana Baumrind’s groundbreaking studies reveal that children thrive with authoritative parents who balance warmth with clear boundaries . . . . . . . . #parentingwithpurpose #parentingtips #consciousparenting #parentingadvice #raisingkids #parenthood #motherhood #fatherhood #momsofinstagram #parenting101
