My two young children are currently at a very impressionable age and I find myself saying "no" and "be careful" many times a day as they discover the world around them. While these words may be helpful in keeping them out of danger they are ultimately disempowering and if we just push a little harder to expand beyond them, our children will regain their power with a deeper understanding of the situation.
We feel what we think
To best help them we must shift the focus from what they think they canβt do to what they can do. By enabling them to see situations from different angles, getting them to focus on the less negative outcomes or conclusions we are changing the feeling with which they approach obstacles in life.
Solutions not problems
By focusing consistently on the solution to whatever situations we find ourselves in we are training our minds. It is the same for children as it is for adults. Focus enough on problem solving and in the end there are no more problems, just things to be getting on with.
Backwoods Mama
Searching for more information on this I came across a lovely looking lady on Facebook by the name of Backwoods Mama. Her Facebook page looks rich with parenting wisdom and outside the box thinking. It was here that I found the following words...
LOVE THIS!!!
Esteban is still a little young to understand all of these words but it won't hurt to start practicing this immediately.
I am confident it will change the energy of our exchanges and the feeling he is left with.
Whether it has the desired effect is yet to be seen.
Will let you know how this goes!
