Children are like little seeds that have just emerged from the mud, they still have a lot to learn and discover about this world. One of the key lessons that children need to learn is having control over innocent emotions. “Consistency is the key to managing your child’s rage. Children will go through stages of adulthood on their own, so parents must be consistent in their educational strategies, language and actions to guide their kids down the right paths.” – Ms. Phuong Vi – UTS Psychological Counselor. The Parenting Workshop: HOW TO BE FRIEND WITH YOUR CHILD’S RAGE, which recently took place at the UTS Botanique Campus, was an opportunity for parents to sharing their kids’ real emotions and figuring out how to support them as they go through a crisis at the age of three. A hands-on activity called “calming bottle” will also be recommended for parents who want to make friends with their kids’ emotions. Let’s take a look back at the moments of that day!

Parents tolerate and sympathize with their kids and their children are grateful for growing up in their parents’ warm embrace every single day. Authentic bonds can be affected by several factors and have a significant impact on children’s maturity, especially in the mental health aspect. According to parents’ perspective, what is the root cause of making such a generation gap? UTS had comprised the common reasons through accompanying and talking with families about their daily lives. 1. Factors affecting the relationship between parents and children An affectionate and sentimental attachment between parents and children is formed from 3 leading elements: Communication Communication between parents and children plays a key role in developing parent-child intimacy. Besides, it is beneficial that the root principle is to listen to their children’s confidence. In fact, effective communication is straightforward, stemming from the way parents interact with their children. Children will find it sympathetic when parents are eager to listen to their thoughts and give advice with a compassionate listening attitude. Just take a closer look at a scenario when being asked by parents after going home from school: “Have you done your homework?” rather than “Did you enjoy your school today?”.
