he Rise of the "Love Script" in Parenting

What is the "Love Script"?

Why Parents Are Overusing It:

• Emotional Disconnect: Parents are busier than ever, distracted by work, social media, and stress. Saying ‘I love you’ becomes a shortcut for emotional connection.
• Guilt Factor: Parents feel guilty for not spending enough time with their kids, so they compensate by verbalizing love without reinforcing it with actions.
• Cultural Shift: Social media has made us more performative. Parents see others posting about love, so they mimic these behaviors, even if they don’t feel connected.
