Even when you are stressed, tired, beyond your limits and dealing with your own feelings, taking it out on others can have a huge impact on how they feel and behave.
Be open to your feelings and how they change, and also be aware of the effect of your behaviour on others. People sometimes forget that our behaviour can really affect how others feel.
Focus on loving yourself instead of loving the idea of other people loving you.
Instead of hating someone, think of how you can make their life better. If you’re lucky, they may change; if not, then you still get to feel good about trying.
Hatred for somebody won’t stop them doing whatever it is you ‘hate’, but it will cause you to feel bad feelings inside yourself.
If you treat children with kindness and love, they are more likely to treat themselves kindly, and carry this through adolescence into adulthood.
It is incredibly frustrating even as an adult not to have your feelings acknowledged – for a child it is confusing and causes deep emotional pain which can lead to many forms of psychological disorder.

Not acknowledging a child’s feelings can lead to low self-esteem, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation and an inability to form positive social interactions and relationships.
Teach and nurture children in a gentle and positive way, responding to their feelings and emotions. This helps develop positive self-esteem and mental health.
