“A child does what she does in order to meet her own needs. When we validate her feelings, find out what her needs are, and express our appreciation and love unconditionally, she thrives because she experiences that we care and that she is worthy and loved simply for being herself. In the process, the child learns compassion. She learns to recognize the goodness in herself and in others. She learns to look for the unmet needs instead of pointing what’s wrong. She learns the taste of feeling deep connection and love, unconditionally.”
