Winter 2007
A Shift in Perception
My wish for you in 2007 is that you are manifesting all of your heart's desires... What has become most apparent to me from coaching parents over the years is a sense of how deeply each and every parent cares for the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being of their children...and how absolutely in love with them they are...
I'm more certain than ever that each of us, on an intuitive level, knows exactly how to care for and respond to our children in a way that serves them and ourselves best...I am also aware, from my own experience as a parent, of how challenging it can be, when issues arise, to access my inner wisdom...how easily I can lose perspective and confidence when my "buttons" have been pushed...how deeply regretful I can feel at the end of a day for not being as understanding as I would have liked to have been...and how much I yearned for more tools in my tool box that would assist me in becoming the parent I really wanted to be.
It might be helpful to keep the following questions in mind when your child behaves in a way that you find challenging:
Ask yourself these questions, and you might discover a shift in your perception of your child and his/her behavior...and with that paradigm shift, you might find yourself better able to access your inner wisdom and respond to your child from a place of understanding and connection. It would be my privilege, to assist you in any way that I can in your parenting journey.
With heartfelt love ~ melody
