What Every Child Needs

As a child, these two amazing people gave me what I needed!  Acceptance, guidance, faith, security and above all love. 

WHAT EVERY CHILD NEEDS

  • ACCEPTANCE-Every child needs to believe that she is accepted even though others may not approve of things she does.
  • CONTROL-Every child needs to know that there are limits to what he is permitted to do and that he will be held to these limits.
  • GUIDANCE-Every child needs to have friendly help in learning how to behave toward persons and things. 
  • INDEPENDENCE-Every child needs to know that she will be encouraged to try new things and to grow. 
  • PROTECTION-Every child needs to feel that when she must face strange, unknown and frightening situations, someone will be there to help.
  • FAITH-Every child needs to have a belief in the human values---kindness, courage, honesty and justice.
  • SECURITY-Every child needs to know that his home is a good safe place he can feel sure about. 
  • LOVE-Every child needs to feel wanted---that he matters very much to someone.
