In this first episode of this mini-series that discusses the ABCs of connecting with our children, we explore the topic of affirmation.
Just as physical food is essential for our physical growth, affirmation of our children is indispensable for their psychological, emotional, and spiritual well being. If our children do not have this most fundamental need fulfilled, they will start looking for it later on in life in other ways, often in all the wrong places, and in all the wrong faces.
This episode seeks to share with parents why right affirmation of our children is so important, and how we can use it in a way that will help us connect better with them.
Subsequent episodes in this second mini-series will cover the other alphabets in the acronym mentioned in episode 7:
• Being there for our children
• Communication
• Discipline
• Empathy
• Forgiveness
• God-centredness
• Honesty
• Integrity, and
• Joy
