CYP Core 3.3
Pillar 1 – Unconditional love.
Unconditional love means that a parent loves their child no matter what. The child needs to know this and that even if they are naughty, good or silly they are still loved.

When boundaries are set and kept, it leads to a good adult/parent child relationship which is a vital component for healthy emotional development and a happy, stable …show more content…
If a child is abused or neglected in any way, the very boundary of the self is threatened and control is taken away by the abuser often leading to problems in later life. There is evidence that there is a higher rate of eating disorders among ‘abused’ people, meaning sexually abused people, but there are other kinds of abuse which affect the control of the self -mental and emotional abuse, two of which are non -contact abuse and words, in other words emotional neglect and ridicule, and comparing the child with other children in a negative way. This kind of behaviour will destroy a child’s confidence and is a sure way of causing psychological problems later on in life including eating
