Parents play a crucial role in their child's mental health and well-being. It's important for parents to recognize that their child's struggles may not solely be the result of their child's actions or behaviors. By taking the initiative to seek therapy for themselves, parents can gain a better understanding of their own emotions and behaviors, which can ultimately lead to a healthier and more supportive environment for their child to thrive in.
