Hey sis, I got to tell ya! I love ya, but it's time to make changes! In this episode we talk about how to recognize where change needs to take place, the actions steps to take and why it is so crucial! Lets get to it!
[ 4:13 ] God entrusted us and gave these kids to us so that we could come along side them and we could help guide them and be a teacher for them. But not drive them to what it is our wants and desires are for them. They are going to develop their own wants and desires and its our job as their parent to come along side them.
[ 4:50 ] Create an environment where your kids want to come to you and talk to you about things. Where there is a mutual respect where you love and adore and value who they are exactly as they are and you don't wish that they would change into your ideas and visions for what their life looks like.
[ 8:18 ] “When you parent, it is crucial you realize you are not raising a mini me, but a spirit throbbing with its own signature. For this reason, it is important to separate who you are from who each of your children is. When we know this in the depths of our soul, we tailor our raising of them to their needs, rather than molding them to fit our needs.” The Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali
[ 9:49 ] The danger of not being aware of the stories we tell ourselves is that the stories become projections and those projections become judgements onto the other person.
[ 10:42 ] “The ability to see really see our children separate from who we are is our greatest gift to them. Conversely, our greatest weakness as parents is our inability to honor a child's path as it emerges.” The Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali
[ 12:27 ] “Whether you have an infant or a teen, your children need to feel that just because they exist, they delight you. They need to know that they don’t have to do anything to earn your undivided attention. They deserve to feel as if just by being born, they have earned the right to be adored.” The Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali
