The "food" for future emotional health is physical touch, kind words, and tender care.

Child psychologists affirm that every child has certain basic emotional needs that must be met if he is to be emotionally stable.

In interiorul fiecarui copil, exista un rezervor afectiv care de-abia asteapta sa fie umplut cu iubire. Atunci cand un copil se simte cu adevarat iubit, el se va dezvolta normal; dar cand rezervorul este gol, copilul se va comporta in mod nedorit.
