The ten dimensions
Each dimension describes an area where parents differ. None matters more than the others, and none has to be perfect.
Staying calm in hard moments
How you respond when your child pushes you to your limit, and how quickly you find your way back afterwards.
Trust in your role as a parent
How confident you feel that you know what your child needs from you right now.
Everyday family load
How much pressure you carry through the day and how much of it reaches your relationship.
Mindful listening
How present you are when your child tells you something, even in passing.
Accompanying feelings
How you stay with your child's anger, fear and sadness instead of rushing to make them disappear.
Clear rules in daily life
How reliable the structure is that your child finds with you, including on bad days.
Warmth and closeness
How much affection is genuinely noticeable day to day, no matter how exhausting it was.
Resolving conflict well
How the two of you find your way out of an argument, and who takes the first step in your family.
Fostering independence
How much you trust your child to manage, and where you take decisions off their hands.
Being a role model
How closely what you live matches what you hope to see in your child.
