Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs
When children can’t rely on their parents to meet their needs, they cannot develop a sense of safety, trust, or confidence. Trust is a colossal development issue. Without the learning of trust in our early years, we are set up to have a major handicap with believing in ourselves and feeling safe in intimate connections.
Karyl McBride, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers
