Emotional affection forms the basis for healthy child development and a close bond between parents and children. Love, affection, security and caring behavior are crucial for giving children a sense of security and well-being. This support enables children to face challenges positively and promotes confidence in their own abilities. They cope better with difficult situations and resolve disputes with other children in a positive way. It is essential that parents take their children's feelings seriously and show them through quality time together, attentive listening, and empathy that they can always rely on their family. Such a loving environment prepares children to go through life with self-confidence and empathy. Moments of closeness are crucial because they build a bridge of trust between parents and children. These moments of love and affection are visible in daily routines such as before falling asleep, in the joy of shared experiences and in laughing together. Through their love, understanding and support, parents lay the foundation for the emotional well-being and holistic development of their children. By taking children's feelings seriously and showing genuine interest in their thoughts and concerns, adults actively support children's development into self-confident, responsible and helpful personalities.
