Emotional needs must be met before addressing other issues from "summary" of His Needs, Her Needs for Parents by Willard F. Harley Jr.
When it comes to parenting, one of the most important concepts to keep in mind is that emotional needs must be met before addressing other issues. This means that before you can effectively address any behavioral or disciplinary issues with your child, you must first make sure that their emotional needs are being met. Children have a fundamental need for love, affection, and emotional support from their parents. Without these emotional needs being met, children may struggle to regulate their emotions and behavior, leading to difficulties in other areas of their lives. In order to meet your child's emotional needs, it is important to spend quality time with them, listen to their thoughts and feelings, and provide them with a sense of security and stability.
