Example:
I once helped a pair of parents deal with the problem of being too strict with their children. We conducted family counseling together, and the parents began to reflect on their own parenting methods and gradually became aware of the negative impact their excessive strictness had on their children. I encourage them to change the way they interact with their children and develop a more open and trusting communication relationship. They learn to listen to their children, understand their children's needs, and begin to use positive encouragement and support to motivate their children. Over time, the children gradually showed better emotional regulation and self-confidence, and family relationships improved.
