Child's Need for Love and Affection

The child is looking up to his parents and older members for love and affection. If he knows he is loved, he develops a feeling of security. This is needed in his proper growth and development. A child lives in a world of approval. He will respond favorably to a warm friendly voice. A little pat on his shoulder will bring good results. A word of praise for his accomplishments will bring him more success. A willingness to listen to his problems and accept his suggestion will bring him closer to his parents. This friendly relation will make the child stable in his emotions.
