The desire to be loved is a powerful motivation for children to behave in ways thatgive their parents pleasure rather than displeasure. it may even be our own long-ago fear of losing our parents' love that now sometimes makes us uneasy about setting and maintaining limits.

Let us do so with tenderness, affection, and with a smile!” WorldMayChildrenMightRunningDesireHoursTalkingMorningGreatnessOur ChildrenAffectionSelfishDrivingTeenagerNosesServingTendernessGlorifyTrue GreatnessSelfish DesireThank U Author:Carolyn Mahaney
