Advocating for your child is part of parenting from "summary" of The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family by Wendy Sunshine,David Cross,Karyn Purvis
As parents, we are our children's greatest advocates. It is not just about providing for their basic needs or guiding them through life's challenges. Advocacy goes beyond that - it is about standing up for them, speaking out on their behalf, and ensuring that their voices are heard.
When we advocate for our children, we are showing them that they are valued and respected. We are teaching them that it is okay to ask for help, to express their needs and desires, and to stand up for what they believe in. Advocacy is about empowering our children to become confident, independent individuals who are not afraid to speak up for themselves.
Advocacy is especially important for children who have experienced trauma or come from challenging backgrounds. These children may have unique needs and require extra support to thrive. As their parents, it is our responsibility to ensure that they receive the care and resources they need to heal and grow.
Advocating for our children also means working closely with teachers, counselors, and other caregivers to create a supportive environment for them. It involves educating others about our children's needs and challenges, and collaborating with them to come up with effective solutions.
Above all, advocacy is about being a strong and unwavering presence in our children's lives. It is about being their biggest cheerleader, their fiercest protector, and their most trusted ally. By advocating for our children, we are not only helping them navigate the complexities of the world, but we are also fostering a deep and lasting bond built on trust, respect, and unconditional love.
