This book consists of 2 titles, which are the following:

Childhood and Love - Love, in all its forms, is the cornerstone of human connection. From the moment we are born, our ability to form meaningful relationships is shaped by the experiences we have with those closest to us. These early interactions create an emotional blueprint that influences how we perceive love, trust others, and navigate relationships throughout our lives. While we may not always be conscious of these influences, they run deep, silently informing our choices and behaviors in ways that often feel instinctive.

At the heart of understanding love lies the concept of attachment. The bonds we form with caregivers in childhood provide the foundation for our emotional development. A child who feels consistently supported and valued is likely to grow into an adult with the capacity for healthy, secure relationships. Conversely, a lack of stability or warmth in these early years can leave emotional scars, leading to patterns of avoidance, anxiety, or disorganization in adulthood. These patterns are not fixed but can be understood, explored, and ultimately transformed with insight and effort.

Harmful Phrases Parents Use - Words hold immense power, especially in the relationship between a parent and a child. They can inspire confidence, nurture creativity, and foster emotional security. However, they can also wound deeply, leaving scars that shape a child's self-perception, emotional resilience, and future relationships. Often, the most harmful words are not spoken out of malice but in moments of frustration, stress, or ignorance. As parents, our intentions may be good, but the impact of our words can tell a different story.
