What do children truly need to grow up feeling loved, secure and happy? It’s not how many toys or fashionable clothes they have, nor is it having their own large bedroom.

What do children truly need to grow up feeling loved, secure and happy? It’s not how many toys or fashionable clothes they have, nor is it having their own large bedroom, says Susanne Mierau, a family companion and qualified teacher. The things that are truly important are often not for sale: time, trust, affection and sympathy. And love. It’s our own inner bearing that we can give a child as a gift along their life’s journey. This is expressed in our actions.

Try to listen to your heart.

    lead you to stray from your path.
