As a family
Parenthood changes a person’s identity and induces growth, which requires energy and dedication. A child changes her parents’ life regarding, for instance, any practical activities, emotions and interaction.
Parenthood shapes parents’ relationship to one another as well as a parent’s relationship to their own self. Also the relationship as partners is affected by these individual changes.
Parents and other family members’ emotional skills reflect on the child’s life and the development of the child’s emotional skills. A child learns emotional skills by observing and experiencing reactions of the persons around him or her. Guiding a child in emotional skills is the duty of every adult involved in the child’s life and the siblings, too, but the main responsibility of guidance falls on the parents.
