“One of the more challenging, but necessary shifts in perspective, when adopting a responsive approach to parenting, is no longer believing that affection and compassion is a reward. That is conditional love. You are sending the message that “even though I know you are having a hard time I will not show you love because I am mad.” Chances are your child is mad too and you are asking them to calm down and show compassion and remorse, prior to you doing the same thing. As a parent we should model these behaviours, instead of expecting our children to demonstrate them for us before we are even able to achieve them ourselves.” J.
