Reframing

What Parents Often Misread

Study pressure is not just academic stress.

It can become emotional overload.

Late-night phone use is not just a habit.

It may disturb sleep, focus, and emotional stability.

Sudden anger may not be attitude.

It may be emotional overload.

A child who does not talk may not be disrespectful.

They may not feel safe enough to express.
