“Meaningful Other” is a term that originates from the field of social sciences and is defined as; an external adult, not a parent or relative, that is present to guide, elevate, and believe in the child or adolescent. That “Meaningful other” creates a safe space where dreams, ambitions, and fears can be shared and discussed openly. These early stages of life are when our character and personalities are moulded and developed. This is the most crucial time for guidance and support.  The “Meaningful Other” will be an essential building block in the character development of the child throughout the years.

After much guidance and support, a strong yet flexible backbone will be developed, that will help the child in multiple aspects of his or her life. Achieving life goals, building meaningful relationships, communicating in a healthy manor, all while being flexible with life. Having the ability, despite experiencing unsuccessful endeavours or disappointments from time to time, to rise and live a life full of meaning and passion.
