No Problem Children------Only Problem Parents

"In a perfect world, parenting would come down to one sentence: Show only love, be only love." Deepak Chopra

There are no such things as Problem children. There are however Problem parents. The problem with parents is:

They go nuts! When they recognize the suppressed parts of themselves being acted out by their children.

They feel inadequate: When they recognize that their children are ready to take risks they were not willing to take.

Their ego is hurt: When they discover that their child is able to overcome obstacles they believed were difficult.

Their authority is challenged: When they understand that their children have the power to do what they make up their minds to do.

AND when their authority is being challenged, they will do anything and everything to keep a child in line. "They will even run the risk of DESTROYING the child's spirit.

The child is made to feel insecure: When the parent is confronted by a child's opinions.

The child is made to feel inadequate: When the parent is confronted by a child's approach.

The child is made to doubt its own self: When the parent is confronted with a child's ability to see the truth, know the truth and speak the truth.

Parents know they are powerful. At times, they stop trusting themselves when they remember what their parents said and did with them. They start feeling insecure thinking that they might do the same.

Until today you may have been raising your child with the same fear and ignorance with which you may have been raised.

OR maybe you may be doing your best to make sure that your children are not raised like you.

JUST FOR TODAY START OBVSERVING YOUR CHILD, HIS STRENGHTS HIS WEAKNESSES. TAKE OUT TIME AND LISTEN TO THEM. SEE THEIR TRUE SELF. REALIZE THAT YOUR CHILDREN OFFER A DIVINE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO GIVE AND TO GET SOME OF THE THINGS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED.
