Sensitive empathic parenting means empathizing with the child's feelings before setting boundaries (the broken record technique: empathize, set structure, repeat); parents who go straight to 'no' without empathy make children feel unseen and dissatisfied.

Evidence Quote

Before you discipline you always want to be empathic first...first you have to recognize how they feel...When you recognize a child's feelings, if they're sad, you mirror their sadness.
