The 5 secret skills of successful parents - tips from a psychologist

The impact of parental reactions on children's mental health

The psychologist Dr. Svenja Taubner talks about the necessary skills that parents should develop when dealing with their children. Many parents make a crucial mistake that can have long-term effects on their children's psyche.

Why parents' reactions to temper tantrums are so important

According to studies, up to 20 percent of children and young people in Germany struggle with psychological problems. The family environment and parental behavior play a crucial role in children's mental health.

What mistakes parents should avoid to protect their children's health

A central point is the concept of “mentalizing,” which means empathizing with children’s thoughts and feelings. Parents should learn to understand and validate their children's needs rather than criticizing or dismissing them. This approach can strengthen the relationship between parents and children and protect children's mental health.

The importance of motivation and clear boundaries in education

In addition to mentalizing and validating, motivating and setting clear boundaries also play an important role in education. Parents should learn to resolve conflicts without power struggles and give their children room for personal responsibility. This approach can help children develop a positive attitude towards themselves and strengthen their mental health.
