ego needs

基本解釋

It is entirely possible to set aside one's ego needs in order to discipline and train children.
為了教導(dǎo)和訓(xùn)練孩子，放下小我的需求是絕對必要的。
Remember that the ego needs problems, conflict, and "enemies" to strengthen the sense of separateness on which its identity depends.

The thinking here is that when someone’s ego needs stroking it’s as if you were flattening down their raised hackles or smoothing their feathers.
這里的想法是，當(dāng)某人需要培養(yǎng)自尊心，他們就會設(shè)想仿佛有人正在撫平他們的羽毛，平復(fù)他們的怒氣。

So tell my superman any time he needs his ego stroked all he has to do is say those 3 little words and let me know he is ready to give up caring about what the world thinks and explore a new fronteer in what we can build together because I dont want to grow old without him.
