“A child’s feeling of worthiness shapes his identity. If he feels worthwhile, he knows that he has a place in your world and can be confident later of going out into the world.” -Bettie Youngs
When a child feels secure, loved and valued, they are more confident in themselves and more resistant to negative peer pressure. A child who experiences a secure emotional bond with his or her parents is more adventurous, confident and self-assured out in the world.
