We often think about our spiritual lives. We often forget how important it is that children nurture their spiritual lives. Someone said to me recently that children don't understand what it means to be in alignment with Source. THEY DO! They know better than we do. They have only recently come to this world, away from the love and security of another place. They have not been here long and have not become so jaded and cynical. They have a natural desire to do what is good, to function in love and safety. They are like video cameras, playing back what they have seen and experienced.
Parenting is only difficult for some because instead of simply loving, respecting and gently guiding our children; our family baggage, or personal stories often get in the way of what we choose to do. If not our own bad stories, the bad advice that some educators and psychologists give us as the latest fad in parenting. We get caught up in what everyone has to say about parenting. Spirit speaks to you and to your child. Learn to sit quietly and hear what Spirit says to you and teach your child to sit quietly and hear what their Spirit is saying to them. If they are young hold them so that both of you can sit and hear from Spirit.
Lately, I had been putting more pressure on my teenage grandson to do more, produce more, I finally heard Spirit say that my angst was the problem not that he couldn't or wouldn't be able to do and be what he needs to be when the time comes. Yes, he does have to know what the expectation is and he does have to participate in learning, but the worried energy that pushed me to shout and be short with him are unnecessary.
Listen to your Spirit and make room for your child's Spirit. Listen!
