�Do not count the days, make the days count!�

Learn to validate others; such as when you meet that young person who seems to lack confidence and you kindly validate them. Validation involves recognising and accepting somebody else’s thoughts and feelings, even if you feel that they should not be experiencing those (Hall & Cook, 2011).

 It is when you are in a position to see where others are coming from, even if you do not necessarily agree with what they are doing. Validation reassures others, especially children that they will be accepted and loved unconditionally.
