I just came across this article about what girls need from their fathers. I think this lists applies to boys as well. We are different in many ways but the core needs are there within all of us, girls, boys, women and men. We all need love, certainty, significance and to be valued and respected. How do we give each other this on an everyday basis? This article gives a lot of suggestions. If some of them strike a cord, have a think and do something about it. A lot are, I hope, already in place but most of us can do more. I have never worked with a client who felt too much love growing up!
