I may have claimed to be an animal lover for many years, but I had not come to respect many of the animals I claimed to have loved. The knowledge I gained about tarantulas and spiders in general was life-changing, so much so that I am no longer afraid of spiders, I know which ones to avoid, I know which ones are welcome in my home, and I keep a respectful distance. I think what I'm trying to say here is that as a parent you really need to make an effort in our modern society to be present, physically and emotionally and mentally, for your child. These actions are as simple as listening to your child with undivided attention, ensuring that your spouse is pulling their weight and contributing emotionally, apologising when you hurt your child's feelings, having realistic expectations for your child, and complimenting them.
