Children need to feel safe and loved from "summary" of Hold on to Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld,Gabor Maté
Children cannot thrive in an environment where they do not feel safe and loved. These two fundamental needs are essential for their emotional well-being and development. When children feel safe, they are able to relax and be themselves, allowing them to explore the world around them with confidence. Feeling loved gives them a sense of belonging and validation, which is crucial for their self-esteem and sense of worth. When children do not feel safe, they become anxious and fearful, making it difficult for them to focus on learning and growing. Insecurity can manifest in various ways, such as clinginess, withdrawal, or acting out. Without a sense of safety, children may struggle to trust others and form healthy relationships. Likewise, when children do not feel loved, they may seek validation and approval from external sources, such as peers or media. This can lead to a lack of self-esteem and confidence, as they are constantly seeking affirmation from others. Feeling unloved can also result in feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can have a negative impact on their emotional well-being. In order for children to thrive, it is essential for parents and caregivers to create a safe and loving environment for them. This involves setting clear boundaries, providing emotional support, and showing unconditional love and acceptance. When children feel safe and loved, they are more likely to develop resilience, empathy, and a positive sense of self.- Children who feel safe and loved are better equipped to navigate the challenges of growing up and develop into confident, compassionate individuals. It is the responsibility of adults to prioritize these fundamental needs and nurture the emotional well-being of the children in their care. By creating a safe and loving environment, we can help children flourish and reach their full potential.
