Why Children Rebel

 

When caregivers don’t live by the rules they preach, children start questioning the validity of everything.

  • They don’t want to be told No, before being explained why something might not be the best choice for them.
  • Pushing too hard will be met with push back.

What Children Crave

 

  • They crave human connection in the form of bodily contact.
  • They crave arms that hug to show care and love.
  • They crave a consistent, predictable and responsive care giver.
  • They crave for our presence just like how we crave for theirs, except they do it without judgment.
  • They want their lives to be seen in the context of a meaningful relationship.
