Children’s Needs

Children’s Needs

• Protection from parental conflict.
• A secure emotional base.
• Help to solve their problems.
• Firm and reasonable limits to be safely independent.
• Routines that help them feel in control.
• Protection from trauma.
• Protection from parental stress about ongoing unresolved issues with ex-partners.

While not everything above is within your control, it is really important to think about what you can do to support these needs.

One of the most important needs children have is to let them know they are loved, and that this will always be the case.
