I grew up without any emotional or physical contact with my parents even though we all lived together throughout. I had my first hug at age 18. My instincts wanted to push the person away. Thankfully this wonderful person stuck with me and slowly showed me how wonderful it is to feel love and affection. We’ve been together for 40 years now and have 2 children and 3 grandchildren all of whom are very loving balanced and confident. This just shows the power of love can overcome a history of neglect if the circumstances allow. I still have deep seated issues, which are mine to own but my life is wonderful and I count my blessings everyday that I’m able to appreciate the true value of love. Especially love for your children. Allowing them to grow with confidence and wonder.

I remember breaking into tears the day I found out I was pregnant with my first child. The nurse asked me if I didn't want him or her. I told her it wasn't that, but that I was terrified of being a mother like mine. She told me that the fact that I felt and thought that way meant I wouldn't be, but that I needed to educate myself, or take classes. She then proceeded to give me a book, I can't recall atm, but it gave me a head start. I went to every class, read a bunch, and took on what seemed sensible to me. I feel so, so grateful for that nurse. My boys are adults now. I made mistakes raising them, but they weren't the ones my biological mother made. I truly loved my boys and nothing in the world would've made me hurt them like she hurt me. I'm glad she died before she met them, or they met her, because she would've hurt them as well. It has nothing to do with my forgiving what she did, or anything of that kind. She was the master of the universe and anything she did was her right. I disagreed, and that was, in her mind, the slave rebelling. Until the end of time.

My mother was emotionally dysregulated thanks to mental illness and every one of her emotions was ramped up to 1000 and I got the brunt of it all. She talked to me about ALL of her feelings, but mine were unimportant. So now, I CAN express my emotions, I'm just always too afraid to or figure no one else cares. I also have emotional dysregulation thanks to ADHD, but I'm aware of it so I work to be better for my daughter. It's hard and I'm certainly far from perfect, but I hope I'm doing a better job than my mother.

Your brain’s elasticity and ability to learn is much higher before the age of 18, so if knowing basic communication and parenting skills with babies could be taught earlier maybe it would be more likely to stick and be a strong memory. This plus sexual education could create less teen moms and dads.

It happened to me with my first pregnancy, I can say children are big teachers, listen your baby emotional needs with the heart and go to therapy you'll be a very good parent.

I was raised only by my schizophrenic grandmother in a shack until age 10, was kept home schooled and isolated, and after that I bounced around the foster care system. It would take an entire novel to outline how messed up my childhood was and the effect it had on the rest of my life. Now I've been married 14 years and I'm retired at 44. We never wished to bring children into this crazy world so we didn't. I mostly give God the credit for my success. Moral of the story: the world is unfair and nasty. When life beats you down, get back up and keep going. (Yeah, I stole that from Rocky Balboa.) I wouldn't trade my weird upbringing for a normal one for a second. It gave me resources to draw from that most people will never understand. Be thankful for whatever you do have, don't be bitter and NEVER give up.

Or not letting ur kid to cry by saying he looks ugly when he cries or that he only brings problems, which makes person grow up as an adult who simply cant cry even in the most critical situations. Many people should avoid parenting imho((

My childhood was quite lonely full of social isolation, I remember having no friends in daycare and in school would often walk alone, and now in my last year of high school I am terrified of the change that will soon come as well as the fact that I am also struggling with my lessons.

I got really emotional, because I saw myself in the anxious disorganized one. I avoid social situations, got lowself-esteem and I don't think I deserve love. All that thanks to my parents being emotionally unavailable (and me being bullied when I was around 10 years old) My parents - at least my mom - meant well. Me and my brother were well cared for. We often went on the playground with our mom, went on holidays and everything, but I never really felt loved. Never felt that there is a connection between us. I still (I'm in my thirties now) don't love my mom - I don't hate her either, she is just a person I know and occasionally talk to. I tried opening up a bit more about my anxiety and depression a few years ago, but she showed no interest in the things I told her. So I stopped trying. I do have two friends I can talk about that stuff and in general things are improving, but it's a LOT of hard work to get it done. Apologies for rambling on like this.

​@@MightyGimp Thank you. I never know how much talking is appropriate so I tend to apologize if I think I might have overstepped a bit. It's admirable that you try to help! With these things outside help often doesn't do that much, sadly. In my opinion the important thing is, that there is someone that supports you, someone that tries to understand. Broken people can't be "fixed", but they can be encouraged to help themselves. Of course everyone is different and what helps one person might be the wrong thing for the next. I hope I don't sound too preachy or anything. It's an important topic to me and people (me included) often have the urge to try to help the people they love and care for... but sometimes you just can't do anything, which can be super frustrating and the reason the friendship/relationship fails. I don't want that to happen to anyone else, because I know how much it hurts. Thank you for the wishes! I'll work hard to accept & start loving myself. It might still be a long way, but I've come so far already. I hope your partner manages to overcome her demons as well. She is very lucky to have you, you seem to be a very kind and loving person. (you even took the time and energy to encourage a complete stranger, thank you for that!) It makes me happy to know that she has someone that cares about her and I'm sure in time those deep scars in her soul will fade. I wish you all the best!

other kids can talk to their parents about everything and when I try to have a normal conversation with my parents it always ends up in huge arguments and I've learnt that the only person who's there for me at all times is myself, so I don't bother telling my parents anything, I rather keep everything to myself and let it destroy me from the inside

I am in a weird position. I have a strong attachment to my mother, somehow, I don't feel like i can tell my family anything. I have never talked about my feelings, like literally never. Then my sister got sick when i was 15 and almost died. I know this moment broke me, but I live quiet the good life still. I life a good life with good relationships to family and friends, somehow, i can't really build new deep relations. Physical contact feels especially unnatural to me, except for my niece and nephew.

It's funny how i was the very positive person and a social butterfly kid at 5 then suddenly flipped into a very negative thing at the age of 9.. I always believed it was the fault of my sibling that came when i was 5 but watching this vid had me on a realization that my siblings did not bother me or even demanded me anything when i were there for him, but my parents actually pushed the responsibility to me because i am the eldest sibling and a daughter at that.

Same here…

My child always preferred her father and actually was physically abusive toward me before she reached the age of 2 y.o. No matter what I did, I was never good enough. Her father deserted us when she was a toddler, and our relationship is still distant after 40 years. I just never measured up in her eyes and she never hesitates to let me know. Being a parent is not always the joy and loving relationship we hope for as parents.

Right. Thanks for sharing this.

When I was a child, I was not allow to express my feelings because in my culture, it considered disrespectful or impolite. I am a mother, I allowed my daughter to speak her feelings freely. She and I have a very strong and tight bond. She is 22 years old now. She is disciplined, honest, empathy, compassion, down to earth and has a good working ethic.

wow it’s just incredible how this describes my family- growing up, my dad was very abusive, never home and my mom was always busy. Which I understand, he was always working, and drinking during his free time so to me he was emotionally absent. I grew up with my 3 siblings and i. I can’t really remember much of my childhood, but all I can sense of it is crying and anxiety. My older (first born) brother basically raised us, we were always around him. As of right now he seems to be doing fine, he has a job, very social, many friends, and surprisingly a high-self esteem. My sister (2nd born) she’s pretty stable right now, has a job and always goes for what she wants no matter what. Growing up my parents and older brother would constantly bash her on how selfish and moody she was. And then there’s me (third child) I was known as ‘obedient’ and ‘quiet’. I can’t really explain everything here, but the outcome perfectly matches me. My self esteem is very low, I’m in constant fear everyday so I avoid everyone, which is why I have no job, although I’m only in junior year of hs, I don’t do good with relationships in general. Don’t worry, I’m in therapy so I’ll be fine :) I just need time to heal. Last but not least, my little brother (4th born). He was born too early, and he had trouble breathing/other heart problems. Later he was diagnosed with autism, so he spent most of his time in health centers, different schools, doctors etc so he was never really close to us. As of now, he’s very socially anxious, but he’ll become better. My little brother (5th child) was born years after everything happened, he’s 7 now, he’s a really happy child, and has a great bond with both my parents. I’m glad that he got to experience that :) My dad has become a better person now, and I’m great full for everything he has done but the damage is far done. I’m still trying to heal, forgive and let go but It’s hard, It feels as if all I’m left with is mental illnesses.

It is not an illness, it is a consequence, we cannot go by life labeling everything not ourselves otherwise why bother even looking into yourself if the labels are already there for you? See? Don’t buy into these sort of things too deep. Just remember, your therapist is just as human and messed up as you are but in a different way. And a cautious advice I would give you from my experience, the moment your therapist decides to become suggestive as to what you should be doing then he/she is not doing their job or don’t know how to do it despite their good intentions. A good therapist only listens and works with that you have to say.

The video is great, but the comments with people's life experiences and the realisation that I experienced the same thing are what I find most fascinating. Gratitude for your sharing. Amazing, truly!💕

You've just described my early years to an absolute tee. Lost my Dad at two years old. My older brother was ten so although he obviously grieved the new reality did not stop him from forging a successful academic career he was considered the golden boy and the clear favourite whilst myself and my middle brother were left out in the cold. I don't think there's an excuse for poor parenting the damage it has done to me personally is immeasurable. My attachment style is simply anxious!

I learned about this while pregnant with my first child and it shaped my parenting all for the better. It was very evident in my professional life as a teacher. What we have done as a society has crippled so many kids especially in the last few years. Early daycare and PreK is emotionally wrecking kids. So they can't focus on learning because their insecurities. Teachers spend more time on behavioral issues than actually teaching.

I made sure I snuggled and interacted with my kids when they were babies. I struggle with my insecure attachment and didn't want them to have the same. I'm not a perfect mom, I just try hard.

And I got confused and she took all my stuff. Then when I went back and said she did that she said "I would never do that" . I cannot tell if this truly happen or not.) Anytime I tried to hold anyone accountable for anything I would question if it was just me and I was just trying to blame others EVERY SINGLE TIME! I dont know what's wrong with me. I'm very distant from my mom too and she told me very subtlety that it was my fault. Is everything my fault? Idk

Everything became clearer after this.. I've been sexually abused in my childhood and my mother never truly gave me enough confidence to talk to her freely and she never asked me if everything was fine with me. This made me extremely secretive, socially inactive and I absolutely sucks at relationships and also an addict.

(leaves the child every morning, separation anxiety & my colleagues hardly even touch the children and raise their eyebrows everytime I give them hugs or am kind & loving to them, I know the importance of physical touch to infants all the way till the day we die, a child needs minimum 8 hugs a day, 12 is best, it makes them smarter & healthier, and it shouldnt stop there but continue until we die :) ...The Father is very important ofc too, but the mother is most crucial, she is by nature the nurturerer & her body & mind has like a connection to the child unf a father does not as strongly, almost like a psychic connection. I think that's also one of the reasons they force fathers to take parental leave to force the mother away from the child.

Honestly, this shouldn't be that hard for us to combat: "Hey ladies, which life would you rather have? Do you want to embrace your feminity, find a good husband, live rent-free in his house, start a family with your gift to create life, and with every smile and hug you get from your children, you'll know they are the verse you have added to the symphony of life...

I know my case is far from unique so exactly how can you shame parents for simply trying to afford the basics. I mean where do you live or are you just lucky enough to have all those basic things giving you the time to not put your kid in daycare? id love it so much if you had a realistic answer to this, forgive me if im skeptical. you think I like taking my son to daycare that much? I spread out my vacation days just so that I can keep him home with me from time to time. I cant believe youre up there shaming parents for simply surviving the best way we can with the economy we live in? 2 parents working full-time at jobs a little higher than minimum wage is barely enough to raise a family. then school on top of that. What is your answer for this? id really love for you to explain how a mother or father could stay home and still afford all of these things.

Yeah my childhood was actually good and affective but my parents rarely say "i love you" so for me it's embarrassing too

I was brought up in a household with a mother who was emotionally unstable, witnessing a drawn out and violent divorce over years, starting from before I went to school and ending when I severed all ties with her at the age of 15 and moved to living with my dad, whom I have a close relationship with. It's quite sad looking at this and being able to empathise with a lot of what is being said here. I'd like to believe that, should I have kids, I'd give them the best start in life I could.

Guys , I think I have overgrew my childhood traumas , When I started earning for myself ,I started realising the mindset behind there actions. Not all actions can be justified but yes I am grateful for my Parents for providing for me. Some mistakes was made along the way but the end turns out to be decent . So it's all good for me. As I see them grew old , My heart does ache somewhere. It's my turn to take care of them and I will do my duty towards them honestly. Every one has their own demons to fight but you just need to overcome them not always fight them , just let it go . All the very best to all of you.

As someone who was abused emotionally and physically my whole childhood I cannot make eye contact with people or start/hold a conversation. I'm extremely insecure and used to have severe breakdowns, which I got better at controlling thanks to my now boyfriend who I appreciate. I often question who I really am as a person and I don't really go outside or socialize. I don't really know how to socialize like a normal person, I usually wait for someone to talk to me first if I do. I don't have any friends as a now 21 year old but to be honest too many people make me feel drained, I'm just glad to have my boyfriend who is my safe space, I wouldn't give him up for anything in the world, he's what I needed in my life and I am so thankful. I'm 8 months pregnant now and I refuse to be like my parents, who I was scared of and neglected by, even malnourished. I will give my son the best childhood that I never had, no child deserves to go through abuse.

The worst thing for me is that my cousin talks to my dad more freely than I have ever did. I grew up being scolded, yelled at and probihited to show any emotions or explaining myself. I have to listen and accept even the false accuses my family make on me. My parents were so busy when I was younger, they barely spend time with me and most of the time I live with grandparents. I then have a sister and gosh this is when I do everything alone, by my self, just playing on my own. My parents, my grand parents from both sides had a lot of verbal fights, my dad is so aggressive destroyed objects, even now my grandmother destroy things too... I have to hear loud arguements growing up. It's terrible. That drives a disconnection between me and my own family, I'm so scared to be around them and they scold me for that, saying I'm the reason for the heavy atmostphere at home. And now I'm such a failure, suffering with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I cant focus at school, I cant focus on anything and those terrible memories just comes and toturing my brain at any moment. I did think of suicide a lot, I still am, but since I am under 18 so if I die my family might get in trouble. So iI'll just wait. Turning 18 in April next year.

On a side note, I had been in the same hole as you. What I realized after so much thinking inside and out, is that yes, I have been affected emotionally and I haven’t been able to learn to regulate those emotions, but when I tried to get better things seem to invariable take me back to square one, that’s when I realized that not only the development of my ind had been affected but my body as well, therefore the chemical functions that pertain to our emotional regulation has also been damaged. What you need is to rebuild your dopamine levels, thru exercise, sun light, if you live in a cloudy or cold area adopt a diet that Scandinavians for instance or other people living in depressing weather conditions do, for instance you will find that a 2 ounce shot of fish oil every morning can start working wonders, or that taking sun when you wake up or some sort of light that enhances your mood for 10 minutes at least before you begin your day helps, a “happy light” if there is no light. The light must be received with eyes open, not crazy open just your normal routine or being awake, perhaps read while you do this. Another thing that will be a game changer for you is to take Lion’s mane mushroom, they sell capsules of it. But you can also buy the whole thing but mushrooms are a more concentrated in capsule form. This mushroom is edible and not hallucinogenic. And allergy wise you will be safe unless of course mushrooms are your enemy. What the mushroom does is help you focus, it doesn’t change anything in you, it simply focuses and relaxes you so you may actually be able to use whatever potential you have available at the moment and keep growing. I would take it before work or school a couple of capsules. I buy it from a label called Host Defense. I gave you the name so you can tell the dosage I’m taking from the label in terms of grams. Another good thing for your immune system with all this crazy business of making people sick for profit nowadays turkey tail mushroom when you feel your immune system down, it works wonders, if really sick take 8 pills for a week twice a day. And you will see that on the third day you start feeling the effects. Just like with any natural medicine it often takes longer for our body to assimilate them because they are not synthetic. And last but not least, self affirmations, do them mentally and loud as loud as you feel comfortable, but do them when you are struggling to not give up, they come in handy then, do them at night, before bed to rewrite your own story. I have found that self affirmations seem to work best when I run to almost exhaustion and right at that moment as test for me to go the extra mile and don’t give up I start self affirming my superiority over my current self.

Excellent information for us in all stages of raising our child/children!

I think that, any parent who has “failed” their children, was also failed by their own parents, as a child. It’s a terrible cycle. Our parents are not the superheroes we once coveted them to be, they are mere mortals with human flaws. Most parents, do the best they can with what they’re mentally equipped with. If a Mother is anxious avoidant, she will love her children in the same manner. Not because she’s cold and calloused but bc that is her truest perception of maternal love. Once we understand this, we can develop compassion for our parent’s shortcomings, heal ourselves from early trauma and eventually break that generational curse from being passed down to our children 💜

We dressed our eggs and some painted faces on them. We had to keep it safe at all costs. Another high school actually had baby dolls that would cry etc at random times. It didn’t really teach you parenting skills but it taught responsibility.

*Those of you who have normal parents should be thankful. My mother was very abusive when I was a child. She used to beat me severely even for small mistakes. There was never a day when she did not miss beating me. Not so, she often insulted me badly in front of other people. Today I have grown up and learned to understand everything. We don't talk to each other unless we have to. Just seeing his face and hearing her voice now reminds me of the old words and makes me lose my temper. Today I am an introvert and do not mix with people very easily. Low confidence level and no girlfriend yet. But hopefully something better will happen in the future.*

I could. In other times, maybe. But now, after many years, after seeing my best dreams and ambitions destroyed and made impossible, I realize that life is like a card game: you are dealt a hand and must play. Some get a good hand, other get a very bad one and have no chance to win. All we can do is play as good as we can, do our best with what we got and see if we can at least earn something. No use in getting angry and complaining, it doesn't help and makes things even worse. We rather try to prevent others from getting similar handicaps. And it saddens me seeing the world today, with the very important family values being destroyed, single mothers, children poorly assisted, divorcing parents. All those people who don't know and cannot understand the importance of a functional family. Because they didn't feel the lack, they don't realize and don't know what they received from their parents and therefore diminish their importance and act irresponsible. And there those, having lacked the benefits of a functional family, don't get to realize its importance because they don know what they missed. As it goes, we will have a lot of company in the future.

57 year old here. Always struggled with permanent anxiety over just avbout every challenge in life. Recently began to learn about attachment theory, and it all makes sense now. I never had any meaningful relations i my life, because I understand that Im just scared ,disorganized and have too low self esteem to even consider being acceptet just like anybody else. I read books about cPTSD, it made no difference. I tried meditation-to no avail. Have read hundreds of self help books starting at age 19 -dident change anything. Im just so tired ...so exhausted ... so hopeless ... Nothing I do changes anything, exept for a brief moment after the daily long walik in the woods, when I actually experience a moment of clarity and calmness before it all starts again. Looking back at my life, its all clear now. Attachment theory is real. The pain is real, the isolation is real. Its a Life barely worth living in all the very real suffering and regret. I tell myself its not my fault that I was born into this world with very little support and no love. Now Im constantly watching my mind that tell me all day long - Its worth not living anymore to escape the pain and more days filled with pain to come, one after another. Im out of options and willing to give up the fight

Thanks to this precious content, i realized myself as an Anxious and Ambivalent type. And the whole story literally looks like my family but a mother of three children.

We had several guest my paternal aunt n kids too during their long vacations. Father used to give entire pay to mom to run d house. Yet v all were cheerful n happy. She managed the fund excellently, we were also put to dance n drawing classes. Mom n dad don’t know how but each time as they used to leave did managed to get new clothes for all of them. After experiencing all this we r able to sacrifice for our family to any extent, this gives us immense joy.

My answer to fix oneself is to understand which of the examples best characterizes the self individually. If you look at yourself positively, continue being so and learn more things to keep you in such a state. Do not worry about your down days, they come and they go. Choose to be positive as best you can. If you feel more negative, realize that what you feel you lack is indeed within reach. You may have lots of negative emotions, but all those emotions are simply energy in motion. Yes, they may be used to fuel negative thoughts, or they can fuel your creativity. You can use that overwhelmingly negative energy to draw, to make music, to exercise, to write poetry, anything that requires energy, you can use negative emotion to fuel. This also goes for those who feel in the midrange between positive and negative. In short, how one uses their energy determines the actual end result. If anything, do not deny your negative thoughts, use the energy that they bring to accomplish anything, even small things that give you a sense of accomplishment.

'Boundaries' book by Henry Cloud is interesting self help book. The "Love Yourself" is a vague thing, I agree. How about defining it like this: "How much self care am I operating?". People who are secure and OK are operating self care, e.g. diet, safe sex, exercise, saying when annoyed, speaking out about being taken advantage of to stop it, avoiding toxic people when they know from experience what it leads to, Faith like yoga or Buddhism or Church?, going out to see people, reading, .... Just generally, if we can't define 'Love Yourself', we can define the manifestation of it by our level and commitment and consistency of Self Care. That was what I thought about that measures it.

I'm 67 years old. I've never been married (and never even had a decent "healthy" relationship). I have no children. My father was a sexually abusive alcoholic. My mother was an angry, screaming neurotic (and lived in total denial as to what my father was doing). It was only a few days ago that I even heard of RAD. This explains a LOT about me and my life. I don't know whether to be happy or sad to learn about it. My entire life, I have never known love. I fill my days doing charity work, then come home to my little house and seven cats. (Go ahead and laugh; I know I'm a living stereotype.) Still, they are the only living creatures I can love, yet I dread the day when each one of them will die. Every night, when I'm lying alone in the dark, I think about suicide. At least then the painful voices and memories will stop. If it weren't for my cats, I would kill myself tomorrow. As I said, I'm 67 years old. It's too late for me, but at least now I have a name for why I am what I am.

This is one of many reasons why I refuse to get married in early 20s. Most of my acquaintances make jokes about how miserable you are if you are still single or not having plan in getting married soon before the age of 25. I'll be 24 next March 2019 yet have no interest yet in marriage because there are a lot of things I consider, including parenting. I have traumatic childhood, witnessed abusive things from my parents, brother. I get scared every time I think about it. So, in this time of my life, I only want to fix myself first before I commit to live together and build family with other person.

But I also think the interactions we face at school when we are young shape our future as well. I had a secure relationship with both of my parents, but due to feeling like an outcast and getting heavily bullied at school, I felt conflicted and lost my trust in people outside of my safe place. At home, I am securely attached, but outside in the real world, I can be either of the three insecurely attached traits. I think this theory can extend to our relationships outside of parental roles.

Agree. I have an amazing mother. We have such a great relationship. But in school I was always more of an outsider. Nowadays I‘m just a complete loner. Like, I literally have no friends. Well, I have one but she lives far away and we only talk every couple of months. I could probably drop dead tomorrow and nobody except my mom and my grandparents would really care. Sometimes I wonder if one can die of loneliness. Maybe someday the heart just stops beating or something.

I’m 52 and my mom went back to work when I was six weeks old. She sent me to a grandmother-type babysitter and TO THIS DAY finds it “so interesting” that I would cry and scream and fuss when she came to pick me up. Well lady, maybe because she took care of me all day and I didn’t want to come home with you, a stranger? Ironically, her name was Mrs. Smith. She watched me for three years and I’m pretty sure this is why I don’t have a “maternal” relationship with my mom. Did a lot of work in my 20s to undo the “damage” and I’m happy, healthy, and have been in a wonderful marriage for 23 years. Never had kids though as I figured I would unwittingly be like my mom. I know better now, but I didn’t want to risk screwing up a child.

Actually this is a really great insight into why Paid Parental Leave is so important. -at least for the first year. It would be cost effective in the long term to Governments, because having children and adults who are emotionally stable is better for society in both employment and personal relationships, less work for police and costs to welfare, education, justice and health systems. Of course it also allows the opportunity for secure bonding between mother/father and baby, which is such a wonderful time of parents life, without having the stress of financial hardship. A NZ perspective anyway.

That was my first thought after watching this video. I now live in the UK which has quite generous parental leave but I used to live in the US where I knew plenty of women who were back in work just two to four weeks after giving birth with their baby in full time day care! When people ask how come Americans are so f'd up I always tell them about the lack of paid time off for parents and the awful day cares over there, these two things have damaged two generations at least of Americans.

@@Angora573 Yes that sounds pretty sad really, you might wonder what the point of having children was!!! No chance to establish breastfeeding which is great for baby's health, secure attachment and bonding. Going back to work 2-4 weeks after birth must be bad for the mothers health too as this should be a joyous time in a new parents life. I know its a reality these days for people to stay afloat financially. UK n NZ new parents are lucky in that respect

NZ only has 6 months of paid leave though, used to only have 3 until not long ago. Early childcare is the most expensive in the OECD and most centres are sub-par compared to the European ones. I'm a European living in NZ so I don't compare NZ to the States for example, that's the lowest bar to compare yourself to. The people here also don't know how to express themselves properly and quality communication skills are non existent. Poor mental health is a public health issue and to top it all the parents these days seem to have a child-centered approach to raising their kids. I've never seen this many mothers stay at home until kids go to school, putting immense pressure on the father to provide which is so time and energy consuming the kids can't possibly benefit fully from their presence. Children also have really poor literacy and numeracy skills and I could go on but that's off-topic.

joe is totally my case when i was child growing up i always have trust issue and always want hide myself .Teenage was worst however i was able to be independent on my own which result in distance between my parent and me .I have grown to be more sensitive and trigger easily emotionally. After lot of courage i have figured out to know who i really am ..Parents are always like because i love you but do exactly opposite of what they should.

It's taken me 24 years to realize the rippling effect of my little sister's sickness and death. How it affected my mom and inadvertently turned me into who I am today because she couldn't be there for me because my sister needed her more. I dont begrudge it. I just wish that stuff like this had been around to help the adults in my life recognize it, instead of just labeling me as a "sensitive and difficult child". I know I'm still felling the effects of not knowing how to process her death and having to coax my inner child out so we can heal together.

Parenting should be a compulsory course for pregnant couples. Even it's their 4th child etc

I'd argue especially if it's their 4th child etc. I don't think people with more children equates to being better parents. In my case, being the 3rd child was very strenuous on my development because my parents weren't able to adequately juggle all of the responsibilities of properly raising that many children well simultaneously.

Parenting courses would probably help but the most important thing is the education to the self. This means we need to learn how our backrounds affect our behaviors. Then work on any unresolved issues so we don't pass them all on to the next generation.

Instead of teaching parents how to feed and change a nappy they should be taught the important things. Parenting classes at the beginning of every stage of the child’s life.

Not all people have peaceful and happy childhood which is sad but if those who suffered could heal, they can better understand the pain of others in tough situations and maybe they can better help others. That is so precious. I know many people are feeling pain, so I pray everyone could get good therapy and could heal themselves for the better future of them and others. InshaAllah.

Nice summary. I was introduced to this theory after reading "Hold on to Your Kids" and am now going through "Making Sense of Resilience" at the Neufeld online campus. Great stuff, but pretty simple once you get it.

My mother died of an overdose when I was 3 and left me with an aging 47 year old father and two adult aged siblings. I've somewhat always felt as though I was simply the scraps of my parent's broken lives. I had always been jealous of my siblings, I always felt as though they'd gotten the normal life I so badly wanted, but even then they had suffered through our parents' rocky marriage- riddled with infidelity and drugs. Please think before you procreate, not everyone is meant to bear children.

sadly lots of teens have intercourse early and a lot get accidentally pregnant and doesn't want to kill the living thing inside of them so I rather wait until I'm married. Even if you wear protective, accidents can happen so it's better for the accident to happen when you are married than when you are a teen. Chances are people are more financially able when you are married and have jobs than when you teenagers. Abortion is pretty scarring for a teen too.

It really hits home, of how vulnerable I have become throughout the years, turning away and creating boundaries before me. I lost the sense of trust, love, hope and the knowledge of maintaining relationships and depending on someone.. I have become a person which I never thought I would be and I hate myself for that. Seriously, I don't know what will happen of me. All the things I have faced, have made me hate the idea of love, trust or even a friendship in life. I don't believe in love now and even if I had a partner in future, not knowing how to 'live peacefully' with a family member scares me. I just think I would extinct soon.

Aye only child gang

One important thing to note is you can have a good childhood, but also nightmare teenage years, the critical years that form your development to an adult. A lot of parents will give you more than enough attention when you're a young child, but then neglect you when you're a teenager and only focus on the smaller children. You can feel insecure and burdened with having to be "independant" and learning to do everything on your own. Parenthood should be a life-long journey, not a journey of a few years.

I have two little girls (seven years old and five years old). In my opinion, they are both optimistic and happy but disorganised and… sometimes I think they fear me. Sometimes after hard working, I came home and I saw their room was so untidy and dirty then I felt angry with them and shouted at them. After watching this video, I think I should be more patient with them. This video is really helpful for me, I learn a lot from it. Thanks.
