I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

For a parent to be in tune with their child, they must be a person who is aware of and understands emotions in general. He must be observant so that they can see what their child can and can’t do as they develop. And the parent must be willing and able to put in effort and the energy required to truly know their child. A well-meaning parent who lacks in any one of these areas is at risk of emotionally failing their child 🤔

I have to ask are you parent? where this falls down in practical sense ,its not so much the emotional side apart from extreme cases we all boogie along in suitable manner. But keeping up with the constant changes is impossible for a parent,we have to work ,and two parent families mostly both work because cant afford not to.As hard as i tried to keep up my eldest son ,he was always one step ahead,but emotionally, that i could handle 🙃 hows the lovely Harlow

Well maybe.. but I think, in general most parents do most of those things, most of the time - without even trying.. But almost no parent does it all of the time.. And some parents notably do it none of the time..
Most people can spot emotions I think

@Cinder sadly that happens, my mum was seriously rubbish at spotting my emotions or even giving a damn about them.. Mental health in the mix is really not going to be helpful.. In some ways, while it's sure not your fault and you are the one who got damaged, it may not have been entirely your mom's fault either?

@Adaydreambeliever i forgive her in a way, but I’m still not over it and have nightmares sometimes.

@Cinder and you may well have nightmares for a while.. but it does sound like, with your reading and thinking about this, that you are working through it.. give yourself time and patience to keep doing that x

Wow, perfectly stayed. I definitely feel this, as the child of a mother who was not in tuned with me especially as an adopted kid who needed more in the way of the subject. Great post.
