So here are the nine basic needs of children. Print it out and keep it where you can pray and do this for your kids. It is important to them, and God gives the help we need. I hope God loves me these ways too, as I am HIS child...
WHAT EVERY CHILD NEEDS
SECURITY- Hold-me-close-love convinces them they are unconditionally loved.
AFFIRMATION- Crazy-about-me-love underlines that they are cherished
FAMILY- Fit-me-into-the-family-love- significance and sense of belonging
DISCIPLINE -Give-me-limits-love- protection of boundaries for life
GUIDANCE- Show-and-tell-me-love- what they need to know in life
RESPECT- Let-me-be-me-love- accepts them for who they are
PLAY- Play-with-me-love allows them to do the work of play
INDEPENDENCE- Let-me-grow-up-love- permission and freedom to mature
HOPE- Help-me-to-hope-love- conveys an eternal perspective, there is more
to life than just today.
Copied and ready to print and hang on my fridge - Thanks! :)
