Child Quote by Sheri Van Dijk
““In other words, when an emotionally vulnerable child is born into a family where others don’t share this trait, it’s difficult for the rest of the family to understand, and this in itself can cause invalidation as parents become frustrated with the child and don’t know how to help.””
