PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS
Parent-child relationships are the foundation for each child's cognitive development, including creativity and abstract thinking skills. The nature and quality of the parent-child bond also supports a child's social and emotional development, including important abilities such as behavioral and emotional regulation, empathy, personal initiative, assertiveness, and social problem solving.
