- They say they feel unloved
Feelings of rejection are hard to bear at any age. When your child is young it can seem like the end of the world to them.
Scenarios such as a friend spending more time with someone else, a new baby in the family, or a divorce create an environment where a child can question their value.
After your child says anything along the lines of feeling unloved, it should be addressed immediately with their importance and worth as a individual and as a member of the family.
Try to find the root cause of their pain. They may not know it themselves to tell you directly, so asking questions to have the answer reveal itself is effective.
