The family
provides the love and nurturing required for the survival of children. As we grow older, we
crave nurturing, but are not adept at asking for it. We long for affirmation
from the ‘significant other’ in our lives. Affirmation is when important people
in our lives appreciate us and express it verbally, tonally, non-verbally. The
opposite of an affirmation is a discount. You need at least ten affirmations
for every discount for the maintenance of a healthy relationship. A home filled
with discounts becomes a torture chamber instead of a sanctuary. It is
important to make sure you give affirmations to all members of the family,
particularly the ones to whom you usually send devastating Heat Seeking
Missiles (HSMs) like, ‘Why is your room like a pig sty?’ ‘Why do you always
forget anything I tell you?’ Make every day an occasion to show how important
your family is to you.
