This is given, but so undervalued! After all, everyone loves their children, right? However, children need to know what they are loved, no matter what. It means to love them as they are, not just for what they do, and how well they behave. Unconditional love gives children a sense of security and independent. It helps them feel safe to make mistakes, try new things and be yourself.
What to do
Say “I love you” often, even after a tough day
Huggles, smiles and soft strokes.
Accept your child’s unique personality, interests and quirks. Each child is unique
Avoid their comparison with others
When children feel really accepted, they are more confident and sustainable.
