@tabarizaahir: CHILDREN NEED LOVE & APPROVAL If a child doesn't find love and warmth at home, they will spend the rest of their life looking for it somewhere else. They'll search for it in friendships at school. In relationships in college. In a spouse, years later — asking a partner to fill a void that a parent or caregiver was supposed to fill first. Not because something is wrong with them. Because that need never went away. It just went looking. Here's the part that matters, though — this isn't a life sentence, and it's not a reason for parents to despair either. Research shows a child doesn't need perfect caregivers. They need a handful of steady, dysfunction-free relationships — a mother, a father, a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle, a close family friend. Different people, different kinds of connection, showing up consistently. That's often enough. But if that never happened for you — if you grew up reaching for love that wasn't there — that's not something to be ashamed of. It's something to understand. Once you can name where the seeking started, you can finally stop looking for it in the wrong places and start giving it to yourself. This is exactly the work we do at Lamps of Light Project — helping people trace their pain back to where it started, so healing can actually begin. Save this if you've spent years chasing something you couldn't name. Share it with a parent who needs to hear it's not too late. And tell us in the comments — who did you find that love from, if not at home? 💬 📍 Visit us in Riverside, CA, or connect with our team online. 📩 [email protected] 📞 909.312.2121
