Four Life Positions

C C

• You’re OK for children comes from Stroking

• I’m Not OK is also with happy children; happy
children = parents unconditional love
• Knowing the positions does not mean feeling
OK; but you can make bad feelings go away
• I’m OK does not mean I’m perfect
• Treat a person the way they are and they will
become worse; treat them as their potential
and they will be as they should be
