Is Your Kid Missing Their Self‑Love Spark? Here’s What to Look For (And How to Help)
We chat a lot about self-love as adults - affirmations, cosy rituals, real talk. But what about our kids? Self-love starts sooner than we think. Kids, just like us, can struggle feeling worthy, lovable, or “enough” - especially a world that often highlights who they should be.
Signs Your Little One Is Missing That Self-Love Glow
Gently, without pathology, here’s what it can look like:
-
Perfectionism: Meltdowns over “not good enough.”
-
People-pleasing: Constantly seeking external approval.
-
Negative self-talk: “I’m dumb,” “I can’t do this.”
-
Withdrawal or defiance: Avoiding challenges - or turning abrasive out of protection.
It’s heartbreaking to see them feel this way when we know how amazing they are.
A Big Hug for Neurodivergent Kids
Neurodivergent children - whether diagnosed or still navigating the process - experience the world deeply and differently. They often feel ‘different’, struggle in instruction-heavy or socially demanding settings, and may say:
“Why can’t I just be normal?”
“No one understands me.”
“I can’t stop messing up.”
Supporting their emotional wellbeing is crucial as they grow into their identities - and flower essences can be a gentle, affirming companion on that journey.
