I am lovable at every age.
I am lovable at any age. I do not hae to know more than I know, feel differently than I feel or look and act a certain way. My beling is lovable and I am loved for myself.
Sometimes children try out behaviours that are less or more mature than their age. A four year old who wants to be cuddled like an infant may act babyish. A six year-old who wants companionship may ask grown-up questions to engage the attention of an adult. In my dysfunctional family, I was ridiculed for immature or precocious behaviour. I got my needs met by acting "grown up" or staying little. I never had permission to act my age, so I never learned what that meant. I did not learn that I was loved no matter what my stage of growth.
Today I will love the child within me and I love my adult self. I will get my needs met by asking directly for affection or companionship. I am lovable at any age and I deserve to be loved.
