In dysfunctional families, people overfocus on problems—even very small ones—without allowing any focus on the innumerable ways a child does things well. This is one of the primary causes of low self-esteem. A child can do ten, fifty, a hundred things right in a day, but an overly critical parent will pick out the one thing that doesn't go well, and harp on it over and over.

The reason that taking care of others doesn't work is that no one knows what another person needs to feel nourished (unless they can tell us clearly and directly, and in dysfunctional families, they usually don't). We end up guessing: "Oh, I think this would help." "It seems to me that he needs that." But we can't guess what would truly nourish another person. He or she may not even know themselves.

But remember that this is a dysfunctional pattern, born of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. We can't know what others truly need, but with a little investigation, we can find out what nourishes us, and place our focus there. Then we become a role model for others – when we see someone nourishing themselves, we tend to allow more space in our lives to do that for ourselves.
