What is a Kid’s Best Bet?

• Having an adult who generously assumes responsibility for their needs for contact and closeness
  
  
• Having a soft enough heart to experience the world in a vulnerable way
  
  
• Having an emotional world that is supported, shielded, and nurtured by strong caring adults
  
  
• Having time to play that is free from screens, structure, socializing, and work
  
  
• Having room to form their own meanings, ideas, intentions, and preferences
  
  
• Being helped to adapt to the lacks and losses in life through one’s tears
  
  
• Having a village of attachment to grow up in
  
  

  We need to work at doing the things that only we can provide and trust nature to take care of the rest.
