Children should never have to work for our love;
they should be able to rest in it.
Love is meant to be the ground they stand on,
not a reward they earn through good behaviour,
compliance,
perfection,
or keeping us comfortable.
When a child knows they don’t have to perform to stay connected,
their nervous system settles.
Their spirit softens.
Their authenticity remains intact.
They grow from a place of security rather than fear.
But when love feels conditional —
when it wavers with their mistakes, their moods, or their missteps —
they learn to chase approval instead of trust,
to become who we need instead of who they are,
to shrink themselves to maintain closeness.
Resting in love is what allows a child to flourish —
to explore, to express, to fail, to try again,
to believe they are worthy exactly as they are.
Our role is not to make children earn love,
but to make sure they never doubt it. ❤️
