Parenting and Partnering
(All relationships deserve our best)
We need to love
the child (partner) we have and not the one in our mind.
Show up with your
child and pay attention to who and how they are right now.
Listen to them with
respect and they learn to listen to you with respect.
Give them time,
touch, teaching and positive regard and they learn to feel confident.
Our relationships
are often projections of what we are denying ourselves.
Parenting is often
punishing ourselves for what we thought we did wrong.
Only through healing
ourselves can we fully see our child ( partner) as they truly are.
Significant others
in our lives often make obvious our unexpressed desires, needs and judgments.
Usually we
continue doing what our parents did or the opposite.
We may live out our
own fixations and reactivity and continue thinking it is the best.
Sometimes we do what
the culture, current trend or book says to do.
Some continue doing
what they know is wrong, but are afraid to change.
When we learn to
love, trust and free ourselves, we can love, trust and free others.
Our work is clearing
our own beliefs, fears, hurts, resentments and guilt.
When we can see how
we are meant to be, we know and accept who we really are.
Learning to love and
accept ourselves, allows us to fully and freely love and accept others.
Children learn
and change before our eyes when they are free.
Children who feel
safe freely choose what is right in each moment.
Children explore and
experiment what works and doesn’t work for them.
Your inner child
seeks the same for you, wherever you are and whatever you do.
There are many
paths to learning to be whole.
Integrity and
honesty, caring and compassion, practicality and effectiveness, individuality
and self expression, knowledge and wisdom, confidence and joy, strength and
power, peace and patience.
Children learn life
values and positive motivation from living freely and trusting themselves.
When we trust
ourselves, we observe and learn through natural consequences.
We need to
educate ourselves and our children to do, to act, to accomplish what is
valuable
We need to educate
our children to know, think, observe, be conscious, respect differences.
We need to educate
everyone to live together with caring, empathy, positive interaction, harmony
The process of
integral education is more than school teaches and more than parents know
usually.
Let us begin
where we are.
Let us honor, trust
and free our own inner child.
Let us observe the
consequences of our thoughts, words and behavior.
Let us be forgiving
as we learn to create safety, security, belonging, caring and achievement.
Self Actualization
is discovering who we are and freely sharing the gifts of our essence.
May we all
feel loved, trusted and free.
