SIMPLE SECRETS SUCCESSFUL PARENTS KNOW THAT HELP THEM AVOID THE DISCONNECTION THAT SO MANY PARENTS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THEIR CHILDREN - PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN, GET YOUR FREE PARENT VIDEO BELOW
This topic is so important to understanding why life continues to bring you joy and happiness, and also disappointments and sadness; why nothing happens right for you (it seems) and why you experience layer upon layer of bliss and tranquility; why more and more layers of doom have your name on it and why your tomorrows are predictably harmonious and happy. Too many children are not taught this important principle. Kids hear the “blessing” at the dinner table, but that gratitude connection is hardly ever made. Kids and adults take too many things for granted. As you are arming yourself to be the best parent you can be, make sure you have this vital piece of ammunition ready for action.
A high self-esteem, high self-image and an attitude of gratitude go hand in hand. The more you value yourself and see yourself achieving, the more you want to give thanks. When a person devalues themselves, sees themselves as a “victim,” and doesn’t feel responsive to life, then they will not have the feeling of being grateful. Your kids won’t be what they don’t see. If you are NOT connected to your children and you begin talking to them about gratitude, they might respond from their lower self by saying to themselves, “Grateful for what?... - Feeling like I should go off and die somewhere? - Feeling like I have no worth whatsoever? - Feeling like there is no positive future for me at all? - Feeling like no one really cares? - Feeling like my coming here was just an accident? - Feeling unwanted? - Feeling like my parents really wanted to abort me? - For being a “cutter” and getting the only pleasurable feeling from self-inflicted pain? - For needing to control others through manipulation, guilt and abuse? - Feeling like I am here only to serve others and my voice has no impact?” What is she/he talking about?
Children need to know the: - Formula for life - Formula for an abundant life - Formula for a life that is always giving - Formula for receiving more out of life - Formula for realizing goals - Formula for successful relationships - Formula for successful business initiatives - Formula for increasing income - Formula for loving, giving families, which naturally include loving and giving children. When children see their parents showing gratitude to God, to one another, to others AND to their children, those children will have a strong respect for that parent that they would not ordinarily have.
When children internalize gratitude, they are kinder, gentler and more giving of themselves. When children are grateful, they feel good inside and want to share that inner joy and contentment. That is their way of showing gratitude, “Thank you for being my friend. I have some toys here, do you want to play with them?” The words “thank you” should be your child’s daily mantra. There is always something to be grateful for. The child needs to be taught this so they will grow up with an appreciating manner, instead of an obstinate, ego-centered one.
A loving, grateful child is a joy to behold and to spend time with. You must remember that if your child is not feeling and demonstrating good feelings within, gratitude is nowhere near to that child’s consciousness. You can’t expect your child to be and feel gratitude if your child is not feeling good within, is not validated enough and their self-esteem and self-image are less than zero.
A good habit to establish in your home would be to regularly talk about the blessings you have and as you do this, the feeling of gratitude reminds you of so much more that you have that you didn’t really think about. You didn’t have to have a nice warm bed to sleep in; or to have a nice warm, cozy house or apartment to live in; or have a wonderful, refreshing shower; clean water to drink, and good wholesome food to eat. These are only a handful of items. What about the air that you are breathing? In some areas of the world the air is so polluted that the breathing is adversely affected by the pollutants which in turn affects peoples’ immune systems which brings on dis-ease. I hear stories on the news about airborne illnesses. This raises the consciousness of your children and plants the seed of gratitude, even into their subconscious. If you notice your children focusing on what they don’t have and what someone is always doing to them, playing the victim role and their negative role in life, suggest to them to start listing all the things that are actually working in their life. This will be a start of an appreciation journal for them. When they do this, a shift in their thinking starts to take place, where before this exercise, they were dominated by the complaints and the things that weren’t working for them. This will be a start of an appreciation journal for them. When they do this, a shift in their thinking starts to take place, where before this exercise, they were dominated by the complaints and the things that weren’t working for them. Now after this exercise, they start to feel good about what they do have and what IS working for them: - Parents that love them - Clean clothes to wear - A nice house to live in - A nice neighborhood - Beautiful trees close by - Friendly people around - Good food provided to them - Warm bed – A loving supportive family.
As they are feeling appreciative for what they do have, good feelings increase within, the Law of Attraction kicks in, and bring more things to them to be appreciative for. “Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about” -Dr. John Martini. When you start to feel differently about the things that you have, more will come your way.
Isn’t it time to go from angry, bullying, depressed and/or underachieving children to happy, compassionate, achieving, loving children?
