This episode is all about the lie No One Cares About Me which is based in an experience from their childhood where they felt that an adult they trusted did not pay adequate attention due to them not being important. Kids who typically struggle with this lie, often are hungry for affirmation and are rarely satisfied by any quantity of time with the adults they worry care about them. This can make raising them difficult, especially alongside other children.
There are many strategies that help, but one of the best things to do is create a community of adults who can support you in affirming your love for your child. We will talk about this and discover other ways to love these kids.
