Hi, it's asking how you examine the type of advice you give to parents so that they're able to support their child/childrens's daily behaviour & enjoy the relationship with them much more positively.
A harsh but effective way to approach this is to ask 'how good am I at helping parents to find ways to handle their relationship with their child and to understand the behaviour that might be happening'
This could be where parents come to you to ask about 'temper tantrums', biting, pinching, scratching, snatching, the pressure felt in potty/toilet training, falling out with friends, have conflict with bedtime routines.
Parent's can experience an enormous amount of pressure in the choices and decisions they make to help their children, and to handle the relationship that they have with their child & their child's behaviour/current way of communciating. The way those decisions impact on children can have positive & negative effects. Being able to offer a professionally supportive shoulder, advice where appropriate and also know where additional help can be found is a valuable skill that many will be glad to find. Most parents want to parent the best way they can and that can challenge aspects of their own upbringing :)

Strengths and weaknesses involve your professional confidence in talking to/with parents, knowledge of the different situations parents might approach you about so that you're able to offer help and your professional willingness to follow up on conversations by sourcing information that helps parents further.
