Best and worst parenting advice | Psychologist Adam GrantTop psychologist Adam Grant tells us that the worst way to respond when when kids do something wrong is punish them. Instead, he says help them to understand the negative impacts of their behaviour. Understanding how it harms other people means they’re more likely to form moral principles around trying to do right by others.On the other hand, Grant says the best parenting advice he’s ever heard is to show your kids you rely on them. The best way to put this advice into action is to ask your kids for guidance every so often. It makes them feel like they have something to contribute and offer as opposed to just being dependent on other people.Scientists say that how parents interact with their child is the single biggest factor in building resilience.
