How aunties shape child development

While speaking to Briefly News, lay counsellor and emotional support expert Astrid Daries explained how involvement from aunties or extended family impacts a child's emotional and social development.

"Extended family members contribute significantly to a child’s emotional and social development. Through interactions with relatives beyond the immediate household, children are exposed to diverse relationship dynamics, communication styles, and social cues."

She added:

"This broader exposure helps them develop a deeper understanding of interpersonal relationships and enhances their ability to navigate social situations. Moreover, regular engagement with extended family can support emotional regulation, as children learn from varied interactions and experiences within a supportive network."

Positive impact of an engaged aunty on a child

An aunt provides a unique bond that is distinct from that with parents; it combines the warmth of family with the flexibility to discover one's own individuality.

According to Stylist, another great female role model in children's lives is provided by aunts. In addition to being role models and confidantes, aunties have served as extensions of a mothers.

In their relationship with their niece or nephew, an aunt serves as a child's trusted mentor, whom the child can turn to if their parents are not present. This may manifest as mental, emotional, or physical, the Space Hope website states. The greatest method for a child to grow to their full potential is to create a safe environment and a unique bond with them.
