Validation and Affirmation

In our busy lives it is often very easy to forget how important it is to take a moment to affirm and validate our little people. These moments are priceless to them, it only takes a minute, but the effects will last a lifetime.

Children often “ask for connection” in ways that don’t always look obvious. Being able to recognise these signs is like learning your child’s “emotional language.” It helps you respond with empathy rather than frustration, which makes life smoother for both of you. Children wouldn’t say, “I need connection,” but their behaviour are their way of telling us.

Do you know your child’s love language? Knowing their love language is really about helping you connect with them in the way they best feel loved and secure. Every child needs all kinds of love, but most naturally “receive” it in one or two ways more strongly (physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, or gifts).
