*EMPATHY NOT SENTIMENT.*

                                    

 
To parent properly, a great deal of empathy is required. While sentimental feelings of compassion, sadness, or nostalgia are overblown and self-indulgent, they are also a view, opinion, or notion based on how one feels about a situation or how one thinks about something.
 
Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone's shoes in order to understand how they feel. Understanding their emotions does not imply condoning what is wrong.
 
Your parenting decisions should be founded on your values, principles, convictions, and facts, not on your emotions.
 
Feelings are not stable; rather, they ride on a roller coaster. When you're high, you let it go; when you're low, you tighten up.
 
Just know that your teenagers will treat you like a prawn on their chess board.Empathy does not endorse; rather, it demonstrates consideration.
 
So, the next time you make a decision about your adolescent, let wisdom rather than emotions guide you.
