Research has shown that when core needs are not met during the Formative years of a child, "Lifetraps" (schemas) will develop. This core Needs are:
1) Basic Safety
2) Stable Base & Predictability
3) Guidance & Protection
4) Love, Nurturing & Attention
5) Empathy
6) Validation of Feelings
7) Acceptance & Praise
When "Lifetraps" are formed, the person's views of self and of others will get distorted, which in turn will affect his or her psychological health.
"Good-Enough Parenting" - a series of eight parenting workshops – is based on Schema Therapy founded by Dr. Jeffrey Young, and was developed by John and Karen Louis. John Louis is a member of the International Society for Schema Therapy.
While no one's parenting can ever be perfect, "Good-Enough Parenting" offers a step-by-step guide on how parents can learn to meet these core needs, and provide parenting that is "good-enough" to prevent Lifetraps from developing in their children.
