SOME JOBS OF THE CHILD EGO-STATE ARE:
To enjoy the goods things that life offers. To deal with
the suffering that life presents with dignity and courage.
IN CHILDHOOD - to do what they have to do to thrive in
good times, survive in bad times—and make the best
of that until they are on their own and can make their own changes.
IN ADULTHOOD - to change surviving to thriving by
examination of their childhood - keep the best - dump the
rest draw upon inner strength of spirit and integrity.
ALWAYS - To be curious and serious, and to be taken that
way. To be happy and helpful. To be cherished and safe.
