• In order for a child to benefit from therapy, it’s also important that their parents/ guardians are working through their own mental health issues.

• Along with food, clothing, and shelter, a child’s basic needs also include a healthy relationship with their parent/ guardian.

• As a parent, if you’re too overwhelmed to be able to spend time with your children, it’s encouraged to reach out for support from your friends, family, or your partner.

• Parents should recognize when their children simply want a listening ear, you don’t always have to give them advice or teach them a lesson.

• The process of teaching and learning can go both ways in a parent-child relationship.
