If one thing is clear, it is that parenting is not an easy task. How many times have we promised ourselves that we would not do something as parents and ended up falling on all fours? Or quite the opposite, how many times did we have a clear idea of the path we wanted to follow but the situations or challenges we encountered forced us to deviate? Be that as it may, Leire Vázquez, a specialist in clinical psychology at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona, makes it clear that the role of parents is key to fostering the skills that are important for their children when they become adults.
