I'm not saying a parent knows your inner feelings, but I am saying that after watching repeat behaviour patterns you notice stuff. And with younger kids they don't really connect these dots. So yeah, to some extent we do know our kids better than they do
But this all has limits. And expiration dates.
They "know" their kids through the lense of their experience. So they've experienced more therefore they feel they know more.
They're making educated guesses outcomes. That's not knowing.
We're all making educated guesses including about ourselves.
It doesn't really matter if you think you know yourself, external behaviors do.
