A new parent’s task is to offer promise, security, and opportunity. If these three ideas were never shared, what chance would you have to lead and live a productive life? The answer, None! With this fact seemingly becoming the inheritance of so many children, the opportunity to promote a more enriching lifestyle vanishes due to generational servitude. This negative hand-me-down inheritance is the root of personality conflicts, behavioral issues, and reasoning prowess. These character inconsistencies are a sure ‘shot in the foot’ that alters any positive return that remotely resembles character completion. How can we listen to our children when we barely listen to ourselves?
Being emotionally torn by your parents rips your personality and deepens character flaws. Your outlook on life slowly becomes that time bomb that can blow at any time. This emotional stripping of child security begs the release of any ties to a family by destroying its core values. These core values that should be highlighted by undeniable integrity escape many of our children and force them into a world where they can find the least resistance, and that’s not good. I drew the following information from one of my favorite people, and I needed to share this wealth of information.
Dr. Shefali Tsabary: “The Conscious Parent.”
What is your child triggering in you?
Is your child broken emotionally, and you don’t know why? Does your child remind you of how you were raised to regret and rebel? Could it be possible that you are reliving your youth, and that’s providing the example for them to witness? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be part of the problem rather than the solution.
For years, the first line of love and respect for a child began in the home. The parent (s) were that child’s first example of how a woman should act and how a father manages his family. But, unfortunately, this stirring domestic package can damage or promote adult excellence, resulting in those disheartening behavioral patterns of destruction. So parents and responsible adults must understand that more attention is required to nurture our children and protect our parental integrity.
“Create an environment for your child to rise.”
We are all products of our environment because we emulate what we see. Any child who grows up in a complete family environment grows in the knowledge of inclusion and maturity. For a child to rise, that child must have those critical building blocks early. Without learning and practicing the tenets of responsibility, the child can become jaded, where her views of life and the world become skewed, confused, or ignored.
“Children need to discover their presence without having to please us.”
Every young person deserves the right to discover themselves. The search for who they become through their journey and their lessons is the same as the lessons that form their character, where the creation of substance vs. shallowness becomes mainstream in a life fulfilled. To find purpose, a child requires the leverage that affords them ways to stay in this game of life. They soon adopt a well-rounded winning spirit when they’re in the game and understand the game.
“Connect to the spirit of your child, but not before you can do that for yourself.”
Connecting the mind, body, and spirit is essential for us all. One cannot function effectively without the other. Clicking the nature of the child places them in touch with their realities. In the real world, children begin to realize what stepping out means as they get swept up into this world vortex that will change all too often. When this happens, something else must counter the opposing challenges that will surely come their way, but they must have the tools and know-how to use them.
