Colleen Norris, who wrote "Just ASK a Child: The best ways to Give Children Wings to SOAR", which will be available by the end of the year on Amazon.com and elsewhere, described the basic ideas in her remarkable book to Lon Woodbury, host of the Struggling Teens L.A. Talk Radio show. Her book is about how to create a foundation for a happy childhood.
About Colleen Norris
Colleen Norris is the Owner and Founder of Loving Connections LLC, an educational institute in the Greater Salt Lake Area started in July 2006. At Loving Connections, the main focus has always been creating authentic connection. When the company first started the focus was on the marriage relationship, then it focused on encouraging mothers to discover their authentic self and assist their children to do the same. In 2013, the release of "Just ASK a Child" will help support mothers to focus on the basic needs of every child.
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.
Lastly, kids want to be understood. They hope to be recognized for who they are. They don't intend to be treated in precisely the same way as their siblings, but long to be recognized for their very own unique qualities and interests.
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 forget these 3 psychological needs, they produce insecure, perplexed, and defiant youngsters. The book, "Just Ask A Child," will certainly be a significant contribution to eliminating the mystery of excellent parenting.
