About this lesson
Modern childhood is all provision and zero necessity. If your kid vanished for a week and nothing in the house would stop, they are starving for proof they matter. Praise decorates a child. Being needed constructs one.
What you’ll learn
- Kids need to be needed, not just praised.
- Assign one job whose absence the family actually feels.
- Name the impact: because you did this, that happened.
- Busy is not the same as needed.
