Why is emotional readiness necessary for good parenting?

Hey there!
It starts when the child is very young, and it all revolves around not being emotionally compromised when anything happens, just being ready for it.

When the child is an infant, they might cause some problems and just be messy in general. Becoming compromised over that will only limit how much you can get done and how much you can teach them.

The real emotion comes when the child is growing up. Parents usually are not ready for that kind of thing, and seeing their child get older can be extremely emotional. Getting compromised over that won't allow them to teach their children the necessary things they need to know when they get older.

Hope this helps!
