Love Is Unconditional Acceptance

Allowing Child’s Vulnerable Side & Negative Emotions

Acceptance means allowing children to be vulnerable and allowing them to break down. They are allowed to feel depressed and even cry in frustration.

 

 

If we really practice acceptance, then we will no longer have the sense of failure when our children are vulnerable. We should maintain a peaceful mind. Children need us to be more receptive, especially in the following situations:

 

1

The first is when a child is feeling sensitive, fragile, susceptible, striking, ignoring danger or showing impulsion.

 

2

The second is allowing children to be capricious, stagnant and backward as they grow up.

 

When the children are vulnerable and in bad mood, we should think about if they dealing with a special situation such as relocation, changes with family members, illness and so on.

Sometimes, the obedient sensible children suddenly cry for no obvious reason, which is probably just because they are unwell.

 
 

 

At this time, parents need to observe them carefully, instead of requiring them to be strong-minded or worrying about their susceptible emotion.

In short, to help children become strong, the first point is that they knows that they have the acceptance and backup from their parents. They should know they can be " vulnerable" and "break down" safely at any time, so that they can grow up with confidence and strength.
