No bonding or strong attachment in a family is cruelty to children. It leaves them in a world of loneliness. Always on the outside looking in. It sets them up for a lifetime of insecurity, no self esteem and emotional disorders. The problems it creates are endless.
Children Learn What They Live If children live with criticism, They learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility They learn to fight. If children live with shame, They learn to feel guilty. If children live with tolerance They learn to be patient. If children live with encouragement They learn confidence. If children live with praise They learn to appreciate.
