However, little has been researched or written that reflects parents’ experience and perception of intuition as a source of knowledge within the parent-child relationship. Through the process of narrative inquiry, this qualitative research study endeavoured to explore the role of intuition within the parent-child relationship as a viable source of knowledge and connection. Building on the premise that parents know their children best, this study explored the experiences and perceptions of intuition through the eyes of parents. The stories of six parents engaged in various stages of their parenting journey are shared through multiple sources of data including written or spoken words and photographs. The stories gathered make meaning of the presence of intuition within the parent-child relationship, with the overarching thread being the importance of relationship. As the stories unfolded, five themes emerged – trust, courage, connection/presence, home/nature and honour. Together these five themes made room for the recognition of intuitive knowledge within the parent-child relationship. This thesis presents the stories of parents intuition as a viable source of knowledge connected to their relationship with their child(ren). This paper identifies how intuition could be better utilized for enhancing the parent child connection.","abstract_html":"Intuition has been a topic of interest and research in many disciplines such as management, business, nursing, psychology, counselling, and parent education/support.
