Emotional And Mental Wellbeing
We are convinced
that the heart of an individual is their spiritual core,
and the happier and more sound their heart is, the more an individual will thrive as a believer. This requires:
- Fulfilment of the basic emotional needs of all children, including the need to feel secure, loved, validated, heard, respected and appreciated, and the need for a healthy balance between autonomy and volition, and boundaries and structure
- Fulfilment of these common needs, taking into consideration the unique personality, sensitivities, and perceptions of each child
- The understanding on the part of adults that children’s behavioral issues are usually indicators of deeper troubles, and must be addressed accordingly
- Attaining self-awareness
- Accurately identifying and appropriately expressing emotions
- Being geared towards a higher purpose and being part of a supportive community that shares those goals
