The Parent-Child Relationship is key
A child’s relationship with their parent has a significant impact on their well-being and future potential. The more communication there is between parents and their children, the more likely they are to share values and opinions. Good communication helps to prevent high risk behaviours. Professionals working with highly resistant families need to focus on the relationship between the parent and the child, rather than focusing too exclusively on the relationship between the parent and the professional.
