We never outgrow the wish for our parents' approval. Even in those cases where a person must admit - at least intellectually - that his or her parents just can't give it, the yearning for it doesn't diminish. We can - and should - step in and offer that approval and support to OURSELVES from the most nurturing and loving part of our own psyche. We can understand and sympathize with our own struggles, encourage and support our own efforts, praise and commend our own endeavors. We can do this for our loved ones as well and as we do so, we will find that not only will THEY benefit, but we will too. Loving words heal both the speaker and the listener.
