They believe her screams are tantrums. I know they are screams for help.
Only a help God can give. Because he knows her deepest cries.
They say her tears are attention seeking. And they are, the attention she always needs.
They rebuke me for holding her close. I wont apologize for making up what was lost.
They shake their heads at her delays. Well…. pardon her progress.
Shes seen as the worlds misfit. Soon she will learn it’s a good thing to be.
Some see a monster….I see my child.

To give what a child needs is so important and shouldn’t just be shrugged off as needy. Children were made to be loved. We all were. Their cry for love is needed and should not be ignored.

The children need our patience and understanding, especially since they know little of the world. The world can be cruel to your daughter, but I’m glad she has a mother like you.

I so agree with you. And how we think of our children makes so much difference in how we react as well. Our words and thoughts about our children matter, and negative words lead to negative reactions.

Hi Mihaela,
Are you doing fostercare? What a neat ministry. How are you? Re your comment on my post “Of Sex and Cheesecake,” on your book idea “Intended for Pleasure.” Mihaela, I like that one too but haven’t read it for awhile. I’ll have to pull it back out again, thanks.
Sorry for my delay.
