Parents often assume closeness leads to openness, but trust is key. Experts suggest parents should regulate their own emotions, share their lives, ask about feelings, accept all emotions, repair after conflicts, avoid burdening children with adult emotions, and invite conversation rather than interrogate to foster trust and encourage children to open up.

Parents who foster trust and create space for difficult conversations, starting from an early age, encourage their children to share their inner world. These parents regulate their own emotions, share their own vulnerabilities, ask about feelings beyond performance, accept all emotions, repair after conflicts, avoid placing emotional needs on their child, and invite conversation rather than interrogate.
