This essay begins with a children’s story and continues with a discussion of how children sometimes misinterpret parents’ behaviors as evidence that their parents don’t love them. In the story, children mistake their father’s sadness over losing his job for evidence that he doesn’t love them any more. Who doesn’t at times feel unloved? My experience tell me this is a false belief. Everyone is lovable and worthy of love. The essay that follows provides guidelines about how to help children understand that parents love them even when parents seem to ignore them. These guidelines show how to help children understand that parents can't always feel attention. They nip in the bud children's fears that something is wrong when THEM when their parents are inattentive.
