Whenever a parent-child conflict arises, many parents know that the correct response should be: ask→ listen→ guide→ deal with the child’s emotions. However, parents tend to solve problems from the perspective of the person in power and ignore a very important point: The parent’s emotions are the most essential key to the parent-child relationship. If parents do not deal with their own emotions first when conflicts arise, they will not be able to solve their children’s problems and guide their children to express their emotions properly, but will bring the relationship to an even greater crisis. This book provides practical ways for parents to manage their own emotions, put themselves in their children’s shoes, experience their thoughts and feelings, listen to their words, and then help them without getting angry and solving every problem their children throw at them. Only when parents are calm enough can they respond rationally to their children’s emotions and handle parent-child conflicts without losing focus or shouting.

She majored in psychology at the university and worked as a reporter for a news magazine and a parenting magazine. She has a wealth of parenting knowledge, but she thought she was not an expert in parenting but just a mother who made up her mind early on to be very attentive to the emotional education of her three children. Whenever she hears parents complaining about their children’s disobedience and defiance, and rushing around to find solutions to their “children’s problems,” she always asks them, “Haven’t you ever thought of solving your own emotional problems first?” She believes that parents are the dominant and authoritative figures in the parent-child relationship, and that their emotions are the most important factor in the relationship and in the upbringing of their children.
