Today we will have Jef Gazley, Child & Family Therapist, author and entrepreneur on this re-broadcast show. He will discuss Validation as it applies to adolescents. Validation is the number one need with our children. This is where we begin. Our youth need to know that: - They are okay inside - They are not “mistakes” - They are wanted and not some result of a “one-night-stand” - They have value - They have a reason to be alive - Their spirit deep inside is loved - They have real meaning here - They have a purpose for being here.
