The phrase "My Child Would Never Do That" often highlights a common parental denial when confronted with uncomfortable truths about their child's behavior. This reflects a deep-seated desire to protect, or sometimes a genuine blind spot, making it challenging for parents to objectively assess and address potential child behavior issues. Recognizing this pattern is the first step towards constructive parenting and fostering healthy development by dealing with realities, not just perceptions.
