“Parental” is an adjective that pertains to parents or the relationship between parents and their children. It describes something related to the role, characteristics, or actions of parents. For example, “parental love” refers to the love that parents have for their children. “Parental guidance” means the advice and direction given by parents. It is used to emphasize the connection with the parental figure or the qualities associated with being a parent.

Keep an advice journal for your child. Whenever you think of advice that would be great for him as an older child or young adult, write it down for him or her.

Never let your kids see/overhear you and your partner argue. Take it to the car or outside. Kids hear and see more than you think. This is extremely damaging and hurts their trust in their parents.

You should brush your child's teeth for them until they are able to tie their own shoes.
