![]() I really enjoyed this course. I was confused about why a child who was well taken care of, shown love and affection and had all there needs met had the need to run away. I realize now it's not where they are now but where they have been and all the hurts and disappointments along the way. We can never stop listening and never stop talking to them, and remember that they have not had the benefit of parents who were always there for them, supportive of them, or showered them with unconditional love as our own biological children have. So we need to be patient and love them anyway and hopefully eventually they can come to realize they are loved and wanted, cared for and deserving. Thanks for all you do.
