    Parents have to focus on giving their child attention, especially in the ages between 2 to 4 years-old. Parents must mirror and reflect their child to make them feel seen, heard, acknowledged, and like they're worthy of someone's full attention... I was neglected during my toddler years, and because of that an emptiness was born inside of my heart since then. Not only was my heart empty, but it also felt like there was a gaping hole that could never be sealed, and everything i filled my heart up with always came falling out in the end... The only thing that could relieve this emptiness (which can be confused as feeling painful loneliness or severe anxiety), was a video game addiction. Video games came into my life when i was 6 years-old and i used it to cope until today (I'm 23 now). Very recently i had a successful EMDR therapy session to get down to the bottom of this, and i was able to see what, why, and how it all happened by tracing today's feelings back to the earliest memory i have of experiencing it. My inner toddler needed a parent's full attention, he needed to feel like he existed & to not be/feel alone all the time, but because i didn't i always felt empty & dead inside...That was until i (the current 23 year-old man i am now) became my own inner child's parent in my EMDR session. My inner child is my own responsibility now. And it's my job as my inner child's parent to make myself feel seen, heard, touched, acknowledged, validated, and like i'm worthy of a person's full attention. I can access & connect somatically to visit my inner toddler to play with him anytime he needs me to. Now i don't need to rely on anything externally to make me feel validated, i can do it myself now.

      Good on you for your awareness first of all and then your actions to address it.. at such a young age too… some of us are not aware at the age of 60 and even 80 and they are walking with wounds that have never been addressed or healed… I really admire what you have done for you… So inspiring..👍🤗❤️

      You are absolutely right regarding the full attention needs of a small / young child by the parent/ parents
      My own daughter didn’t seem to comprehend this : despite my trying to guide her when her two children were born. We are observing the sad consequences now at ages 16 and fourteen

I see her in me in so much I do and fear that once my son can leave he will and never look back. I can only hope I still have time to stop this behavior that could potentially ruin our relationship

    Some Americans are SO INDEPENDENT with the education they give to their kids that family values and connections disappear. I prefer a bit more of other cultures approaches than the Americans do getting everyone with so much independence. Cultural. It might work better for working (for example latinos are more dependable ) but I’m sorry, people all do here in USA is work work work work too much and family is nowhere. It is sad.

    • @lindamull189
      @lindamull189 2 года назад +1

      Kids are so adaptable. Sit down with them; surprise them by asking them what you can do different when addressing them. Are you a good listener? What would help you learn to be a better listener? As for that last question? That should be taken out of the equation in time spent re-connecting with your children. We would have family meetings and just that idea alone was like a door opener for conversations perhaps never had before. Kids lives matter too. They love being heard. When children are heard, they are more apt to share what's on their mind. Thoughts create reality. The mind is the all; the universe is mental. Visualize potential positive possibilities without trying hard; pulling a wagon becomes easier to pull when you have help!

    • @stevenhou7439
      @stevenhou7439 2 года назад +1

      Nah, your children become their legacy, and whatever they did is based on them, you are just two person who give birth of them, but if God do not give you these two children, you would have not children. So you are your own legacy, your children are their own legacy. And they believe who they believe they are. One day morning, you get up the bed and get a cup of water to drink, tomorrow morning, your children get a cup of water to drink. You command your body to take that action from your thoughts, your children commander their body to take their action from their thoughts. If you believe your children is who you believe they are, then they should own all properties you have, and they shouldn't be owning the things they bought with their money. When you give them money, it becomes their money, not yours anymore

    First of all we didn't have a say so back then...our parents said what it was and that's what it is. I understand that we are all individuals but also understand that kids are kids for a reason and that they dont know Jack crap 🤣🤣. That's what's wrong with the world now is we've given kids more power then they deserve or are capable of handling.

    • @jordanprater8603
      @jordanprater8603 Год назад

      Yes kids are young and Naïve but they still need encouragement to tackle things they are not competent in yet. Giving them things to be responsible for, starting small then eventually bigger things like a car, help cultivate confidence in themselves, making them more competent and independent. Discouragement for taking on responsibilities is just about the worst thing you can you to a child. If parents truly care about their child’s growth they would know that kids deserve to always be taking on more responsibility even if it makes the parent nervous, we just gotta accept they might not do things the right way the first time. I have to respectfully disagree, its not about “power” its about responsibility and respect. Children dont owe their parents anything, parents have children accepting all of the sacrifice that will come with the children. When we give children our resources, those resources are now theirs and we have to accept that they can do anything they want with them, no matter the outcome. Detachment from outcome and unconditional love is what our children need now more than ever.
