Now that you have met your inner child(ren), acknowledged, embraced and affirmed them and found the nurturing parent within you, it is time to build trust in order to re-parent your inner child. John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child, says, "Championing your inner child is a way to become a new parent to yourself."
