Honoring Our Children | by Madisyn Taylor Everything we do and say in the presence of our children makes an impression on them. We may think we can get away with swearing or gossiping in front of them when they can't talk, but we have forgotten that just because they can't talk doesn't mean they don't hear. They are sensitive sponges absorbing their environment in ways we will never know. Even if the words don't make sense to them, they make an impression, as does the energy behind the words. We honor our children when we acknowledge that they are fully present from the very beginning and when we offer ourselves to them in ways that model the best of what humans can be. When we bring a child into the world, a great welling up of love and hope fills our hearts. We unequivocally want the very best for our children, and we want to be the best parents a child could ever want. We begin to see ourselves and our lives in a different light, and things that seemed okay before we had a child suddenly reveal themselves as problematic. This can lead to a somewhat mincing review of our habits of speech, thought and feeling, our relationships, and our physical habits. We may feel that we have put ourselves under a microscope, which can be stressful. However, it can also lead to a great healing of our own unresolved issues, enabling us to be good parents to our children. Talking to other conscious parents about this life transformation can be very helpful. Our desire to become the best we can be is often strongest at the very beginning of a child's life and sometimes loses its intensity as we grow accustomed to their presence. However, it is never too late to look at ourselves and notice whether we are offering our best to our children. That original welling up of love and hope can inspire us throughout our lives to be the best we can be. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Dr. Shefali Tsabary Every parent desires a close and connected relationship with their children. Despite their greatest desire and intentions, this relationship is often rife with anxiety, conflict and stress. Instead of this relationship being joyful and empowered, it can become embittered and complex. Despite their parent's best intentions, children often grow up feeling misunderstood and invalidated. This disconnect is heartbreaking for parents who want nothing more than the closest bond with their offspring. There is a way to transform your relationship with your child from disconnection to the greatest connection. It requires a new perspective and way of engaging; through self-awakening and consciousness. In this course, you will be guided on a path that addresses the common causes of stress and anxiety and will learn ways to transform these into empowerment for all involved. Oprah calls Dr. Shefali's approach revolutionary because she offers a new perspective for parents that allows them to release their fears and need to control. After all, nothing has a more toxic effect on our children than the projection of our own needs, control and anxieties. Dr. Shefali shows parents how to extinguish their commonly-placed fears and transform them into tools for greater connection and liberation. This course will teach you, as a parent, to disentangle from negative interactions with your child and enter into a positive spiritual and emotional connection with them. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1.
