Colleen Norris, the author of "Just ASK a Child: How to Give Children Wings to SOAR", which will be available by the end of the year on Amazon.com and elsewhere, explained to Lon Woodbury, host of the struggling teens talk show on L.A. Talk Radio, how to build a platform for children to grow up successfully.
About Colleen Norris
Colleen Norris is the Owner and Creator of Loving Connections LLC, an educational institute in the Greater Salt Lake Location, which she started in July 2006. At Loving Connections, the emphasis has always been on creating authentic family relationships. When the company initially started the theme was how to have a happy marriage, after that it changed to encouraging moms to discover their authentic self and help their children do the very same. In 2013, the launch of "Just ASK a Child" will now guide mothers to understand the basic needs of their children.
Just Ask A Child-- Regarding Their 3 Core Requirements
Norris believes that the complicated issue of raising a child can be made much more manageable by focusing on three elements necessary for a child's psychological sense of well-being. These three needs are that the child needs to feel 1) Adored, 2) Safe, and 3) Known. Her book, "Just Ask A Child," goes into considerable detail about how to identify these needs and properly address them.
Every child longs to be loved. Children are born with a strong need to be unconditionally liked and accepted for themselves. However, too often this open desire for love becomes discreetly transformed into a neurotic need through the child-raising process. Kids misinterpret a strict parent to believe that they must do only pleasing things to gain parental love. They think that their only chance of obtaining love depends upon their behavior. This conditional approval produces a constant state of self-doubt since there is chronic anxiety because the love they want might be withheld at any time for any number of reasons.
Children also long to feel safe. They really feel little and frightened by large adults and tough life situations. When parents establish boundaries, they draw rules that allow kids to feel safer. Youngsters begin to know exactly what does not work to be successful in life at home.
Finally, children want to be known. They desire to be acknowledged for who they are. They don't want to be treated exactly like their siblings. Instead, they want to be recognized for their own unique qualities and predispositions.
The discussion focused on what parents can do to make children feel unconditionally loved, how to draw meaningful boundaries, and how to give children the recognition they need to mature in a healthy way.
When parents disregard these 3 necessities, they produce insecure, puzzled, and defiant youngsters. The book, "Just Ask A Child," will be a major contribution to eliminating the mystery of good parenting.
