Colleen Norris, who wrote "Just ASK a Child: The best ways to Give Children Wings to SOAR", which will be available by the end of the year on Amazon.com and elsewhere, described the basic ideas in her remarkable book to Lon Woodbury, host of the Struggling Teens L.A. Talk Radio show. Her book is about how to create a foundation for a happy childhood.

Colleen Norris is the Owner and Creator of Loving Connections LLC, an educational institute in the Greater Salt Lake Location, which she started in July 2006. At Loving Connections, the emphasis has always been on creating authentic family relationships. When the company initially started the theme was how to have a happy marriage, after that it changed to encouraging moms to discover their authentic self and help their children do the very same. In 2013, the launch of "Just ASK a Child" will now guide mothers to understand the basic needs of their children.
Just Ask A Child-About Their 3 Core Needs
Norris believes that the challenging issue of raising a kid can be made a lot more manageable by focusing on three aspects necessary for a kid's psychological sense of health. These three requirements are that the child has to really feel 1) Adored, 2) Safe, and 3) Understood. Her book, "Just Ask A Child," describes exactly how you, as a parent, can determine these needs and effectively meet every one of them.
Kids long to be adored. They enter earthly life with a strong need to be unconditionally loved and approved for who they are. Unfortunately this honest need for appreciation gets discreetly transmuted during the child-raising process. Youngsters start to feel that they must be dutiful and obedient to earn parental love. They think that their chances of receiving love depends entirely on their behavior. This conditional affection causes a tremendous sense of self-doubt since there is always the possibility that the love they want may be withheld at any moment by a dissatisfied parent.
Children also long to feel safe. They really feel little and frightened by large adults and tough life situations. When parents establish boundaries, they draw rules that allow kids to feel safer. Youngsters begin to know exactly what does not work to be successful in life at home.
Finally, children want to be known. They desire to be acknowledged for who they are. They don't want to be treated exactly like their siblings. Instead, they want to be recognized for their own unique qualities and predispositions.
The discussion concentrated on just what parents can do to make kids really feel unconditionally loved, and it also discussed how parents can create meaningful boundaries, as well as offer kids the acknowledgment they need to grow in a healthy way.
When parents neglect these three needs, they create insecure, confused, and rebellious children. The book, "Just Ask A Child," will be a major contribution to dispelling the mystery of good parenting.
