How important is your "inner child" to you?

Reclaiming our inner child is the only thing that will bring us true happiness.

What about being a parent, will that bring us happiness too? Or maybe it's the child within that relates to our kids..

(for the record, I have no children)

Being around kids can help to nurture our own inner child, so, in that sense, being a parent would probably help your own inner child to be happy.
I love hanging out with kids...and I'm lucky as I find I can step into their world pretty easily.

Interesing question....Answer: very important, as the inner child is a part of who you are, and a genuine connection to it is what makes true happiness possible.

I did extensive inner child work about 15 years ago and it was one of the hardest yet rewarding times of my life. I felt intergrated as a person for the first time in my life.
To this day I have a great awareness of when my little girl is feeling threatened or feeling happy.
I encourge you to explore this, as it can be one of the most eye opening experiances you will ever have..
Am sending love to big and little Brendannz!

Any part of me is important including my inner child. If there is an issue with my inner child that is my issue also.

Is your inner-child like the anti-ego? I'm starting to believe that the only way to get closer to true contentment is to be finely tuned in- am I wrong in that belief?

When we're children we do as we feel and honestly, and naturally live in the moment, and happiness becomes easier

"Kids are always honest, cause they don't think they're ever gonna die" - The Strokes.

But as we get older, we've got exams to pass, then we've got job interviews to go for, a boss to please and bills to pay, so life becomes more anxious.

So ideally we want to remain adults, and take responsibility for everything going on in our lives be able to share wisdom of our experience and provide for our families, but we also want to be able to have fun, be spontaneous and in tune with what brought us happiness when we were children..
