So, the first thing your child needs from you
is for you to trust your inner knowing, rather
than any book you read.
Your Loving Presence
Your child needs your loving presence – not
your busy preoccupied presence. For your
children to feel important to you, they need
to feel you fully present with them – reading
to them daily, playing with them, holding and
comforting them and listening to them.
Healthy Environment
Your children need for you to create a
healthy environment for them by feeding
them healthy food, restricting screen time –
TV, computer, video games – and making
sure they play outdoors and get enough
exercise. They need your encouragement
to develop their hobbies and interests. They
need you to try natural remedies before
resorting to drugs for illness, so that you
don’t set them up for more illness with the
side effects of drugs.
Be a Role Model of Self-
Care and Care for the
Environment
They need for you to be a good role model
of self-care. Children need to see you taking
full responsibility for your feelings, instead
of being a victim and blaming others. With
this role modeling, they will learn to take
full responsibility for their feelings. Learning
and practicing the Inner Bonding process
will support you in becoming this loving role
model for your children.
Children also need you to be a role model
for care of the environment. My daughter
told me that my 3-1/2-year-old grandson got
very upset with the checker at the market
for using a plastic bag. “No, no plastic
bags! It’s bad for the environment!” he told
the checker. By role-modeling caring for
our planet, we can raise children who are
much more conscious of taking care of our
environment.
Your Spiritual Connection
Your children need to see you being
connected with a spiritual Source of love,
peace and wisdom, in order to naturally
connect with their own higher power. By
you developing your spiritual connection,
they can learn to connect with theirs.
What do your children really need from
you? They need you to learn to be all you
can be so they have the role modeling and
permission to be all they can be.

Now research has proven that babies who
are not picked up when they cry become
more dependent and insecure than babies
who are kept with their mothers. In many
countries, babies sleep with their parents
until they no longer want to, feeling safe all
night. In the U.S., most babies are alone
at night, some crying themselves to sleep.
This is not only sad, it is very unhealthy for
the baby.
