Parenting from the inside
Being a parent is possibly the most rewarding and at times also the most stressful experience in our life. We all take it differently and it’s up to us to “digest” it as best we can. Our kids are just a reflection of us, how we were when we grew up and and what we believed in and what values we had back then and have today. They can stretch our boundaries to, at time, unimaginable lengths, but it also helps us as parents to grow and opens new opportunities for us as we progress.
For us as parents it is important to note that our relationship with our kids is solely dependent on our thoughts. What really matters is not what we see on the outside, but rather our impressions we have about our kids, their views and their behavior patterns.
Our kids don’t listen to us, that’s not what they do, in fact they just watch us and that is what they absorb. But one thing they will always want to hear from us and listen to us is when we tell them that we love them and we are ever so thankful that they are part of our lives. The best time to tell them is when they go to sleep because our sub-conscious mind never sleeps and it is then that that your mind best absorbs what is being said.
Kids are no different to us, just think back to when you grew up. Growing up is difficult at times, everything is new, you learn new things and you don’t have the benefit of being able to go back in memory to compare what happens when you do one thing and not another.They compare themselves to everyone else around them, they try to make a place for themselves in society and all this is massive pressure on them. Amidst all this they add more pressure for themselves by seeking for affection and acceptance in society.
So the more we tell our kids that we accept them just as they are, the more assurance we give them on their journey through life. Also let your kids know that we are all unique, everyone has unique talents and qualities and that we all have to use our talents to the best of our ability. Use your talents and qualities and do what you like to do in life and that alone will help you achieve your financial freedom a lot easier. Our kids must also understand that it is important what we think about them and not what others think about them.
One good system is to tell your kids that their only job when growing up is to be happy …that’s the only job they should worry about….because you probably know the saying ..good things come to good people and when you are happy you just somehow don’t worry about anything negative and as such you don’t attract negativity and don’t entertain problems. ..they seem to just flow past you…
Teach your kids to accept life as it is rather than fight it with their opinions and judgments.
