She stresses the importance of being aware of one's needs, attuning to the other person's needs, fostering trust, and encouraging open communication, especially with children. This approach involves a balance between meeting both sets of needs for a healthier dynamic. Some key points expressed in this video are:

It is crucial to be aware of one's own needs in a relationship. While parenting often involves sacrifices, being conscious of personal needs and making intentional choices contributes to a healthier dynamic.

Positive relationships require a mutual exchange where both parties attend to each other's needs.
