#2 The term good enough mother was coined by psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott to describe a mother who meets her child’s needs in this way. parenting that is good enough takes many forms, but all of them recognize the child’s emotional or physical need in any given moment.

#3 Emotionally neglectful parents are those who fail their child in a critical way in a moment of crisis, causing the child a wound that may never be repaired. They are also chronically tone-deaf to some aspect of a child’s need throughout his or her childhood development.

#4 The importance of emotion in healthy parenting is best understood through attachment theory. Attachment theory describes how our emotional needs for safety and connection are met by our parents from infancy.
