In this personal anecdote, a parent deliberately asks their child for feedback on bedtime routines, expressing a desire to be a better dad. The child responds that strict bedtime timing feels restrictive. The parent then reciprocates by giving feedback, noting that the child has become less cuddly and more distant, missing the earlier affectionate moments. Three months later, the parent revisits the conversation, observing that the child has begun to slow down in the morning, hug, and sit on the parent's lap, prompting an emotional expression of love and gratitude. The story illustrates how open two‑way feedback between parent and child can foster increased affection and improve their relationship.
