• Am I accepted?
• Do you love me even when I break a rule or show defiance or have an epic tantrum? You say you do, but do I feel it?
• Are we connected?
• Do you see my light, even when I’m not shining it?
• Can I trust you with my big feelings?
• Will you be my loving guide?
• Will you always have my back?
• Can I count on you to be there even when it’s inconvenient for you?
• Do you respect me even though I am little?
• Can you handle me when I am at my worst?
