I witnessed an upsetting interaction recently between a mother and son where the mother said "no" to everything the kid said. She made him feel like something was wrong with him for expressing his feelings.
A parent who makes a habit out of denying his children's feelings is creating problems for that child down the road.
Today, put your point of view aside and understand where your kid (friend, boss, cousin ... ) is coming from. Empathy teaches kids to trust their feelings and intuitions, and it creates sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others.
