What if children grew up with parents who modeled a loving relationship, who openly showed each other affection and respect, expressing feelings authentically, and who lovingly, even playfully, turned conflicts toward solutions? What if we grew up feeling embraced, loved, seen and valued for the whole of who we are? Would it all turn out differently? You bet it would! Tracie Sage
About This Quote

The first and most important thing we can do as parents is to create an atmosphere where children feel safe and secure. When we do this, we give them the foundation they need to flourish. Children want to be loved and accepted for who they are. They want their parents to love and respect them for who they are.

The best way to make them feel secure is by modeling loving relationships. When parents are open with each other about how they feel, they are creating a foundation for their children.
