Is your child having trouble making friends, paying attention in school or managing big feelings? Does your teen seem moody, distant and unhappy? Are you finding that your family is having constant battles or struggling to get along on a day to day basis?
Worrying about children and teens makes family life that much harder. And when a member of your family is suffering, everyone suffers.
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible — the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
Virginia Satir
