Connection with others is so important & it’s something that children with relational trauma find hardest to achieve. Never underestimate the power of your empathy & acceptance in helping a child connect with you.
When you have trust & connection, everything else starts to fall into place. There’s less need for correction when your child is motivated to be in relationship with you.
Think of empathy & acceptance as being the sunshine that helps the flower of connection blossom & grow.
