Many parents start with good intentions.
They want to be patient.
They want to listen.
They want to create a loving home.
But real parenting happens during stressful moments.
A child refuses to cooperate.
Emotions become intense.
Parents feel exhausted.
This is when parenting becomes less about knowing the right answer and more about understanding how to respond.
