Relationship expert explains the importance of parents supporting their children

According to relationship expert Shelley Lewin, celebrating your child's milestones and life choices reinforces the idea that parents are not just present but actively interested and invested in their children's lives.

"Being invested and intentional in relationships are vital components of effective parenting. They contribute to a child's emotional, social, and cognitive development, fostering a positive and supportive environment that sets the stage for future success and well-being.
"Recognising and celebrating achievements (such as your child seeking to learn more about their faith) contributes to a child's emotional well-being. It helps foster a positive self-image and boosts self-esteem," Shelley explained.
