Strong Children
Jan 23, 2019How many people have suffered from mild to intense depression, anxiety, addictions, anger issues, or even just lacking skills needed for conflict resolution?
How common is the need for therapy to heal unresolved childhood experiences?
Is it okay that feelings of not being good enough is prevalent throughout our society?
How much time, money, and energy does it take to work through these issues?
Feelings of pain and inadequacy are very common, but this doesn't mean they have to continue to be normalized. When we have children that feel they are good enough and important, it means they can grow to be adults that feel good enough and secure within themselves.
What does it mean to be secure within oneself?
- Happiness does not waiver by other people's opinions
- We have no desire to hurt others
- We respect the similarities and differences with other people
- We honor and appreciate the character of each other
- It's okay to say no to unhealthy invitations or relationships
- We have joy in our life
It is imperative to get parents and caregivers on board with this statement..........to ensure we provide what our children need to become emotionally healthy and resilient adults that are less likely to face addiction, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and the years of therapy it takes to overcome these issues.
I really believe that most people are truly doing the best they can with the tools they have.
But...we can do better!
We can raise children who know the value of their self-worth.
Helping children to identify their feelings, feel significant, learn the importance of self-acceptance and self-discipline are the skills they will bring into their adulthood. They will grow into strong emotionally healthy adults that can handle what life throws at them.
