Parents are the most effective individuals to work with their children as they spend the most time with them, contrasting with therapists who only see them for limited hours per week. It's essential to shift parents' mindset to understand their potential impact on their children's development, especially amidst situations like the COVID-19 pandemic where remote therapy requires parents to be more involved. Empowering parents involves helping them see situations from their child's perspective, fostering collaboration rather than confrontation, and guiding problem-solving processes.
