Parents often focus on helping their children succeed. Good grades, strong manners and confidence are usually high on the list of priorities. But according to parenting expert Reem Raouda, one crucial skill is being overlooked in many households today, emotional safety.
Speaking to CNBC, Raouda said that children thrive when they feel safe enough to express their thoughts, emotions and needs without fear of being dismissed or judged. Based on her work studying more than 200 children, she believes emotional safety plays a major role in shaping resilient, confident adults.
