Psychologist Reveals Simple 15-Second Question to Transform Parent-Child Relationships
A leading psychologist and parenting expert, Dr. Becky, recently shared a straightforward yet effective strategy aimed at enhancing parent-child relationships. In a short online video, Dr. Becky advised parents to initiate a conversation with their children by asking, "What could I do better as your parent?" She emphasized the importance of active listening and posing follow-up questions such as "Tell me more" to encourage open dialogue. According to Dr. Becky, this simple inquiry, regardless of the child's response, communicates profound messages of care, respect, and investment in the relationship. "Just by asking the question and listening, they're basically saying, 'I care about you, I respect you, I'm invested in this relationship,'" Dr. Becky stated. She drew a parallel to a manager asking an employee for feedback on their leadership, suggesting that such an approach fosters a stronger bond and greater cooperation. The psychologist highlighted that building this kind of connection is crucial for reducing instances of rudeness and promoting a more cooperative environment within the family.
