 In recent times “HOW to parent” has become so important, that we have forgotten “WHY we are parenting.”
What do we really want for our children? If the answer is success and happiness – What is success? And what really brings us happiness? With every generation the definition of success and happiness changes. Will our children really consider topping the entrance exams as success? Will winning with blinkers on, truly make them happy? If we look at the millennial way of living – that values experiences more than things , it seems unlikely. So why not stop looking for the shore and start enjoying the swim? Life is in the journey and not in the destination. If we start enjoying every moment instead of living for a time when we have “finished”parenting and can step back and admire our creation - Will it make parenting easier? I think it will. What about you?  When it is not CHALLENGING
It is not FUN An EASY life is UNINTERESTING  My child is very "sensitive".
A lot of parents - especially the parents of boys -say this to me in a very apologetic voice. Being sensitive is not a bad thing. Crying is not a bad thing. Being insensitive is terrible. And not being able to express your emotions can be devastating. Every decision must be made with the head - in consultation with the heart. We must FEEL - before we DECIDE. Do you have a sensitive child? Do you regret it? Do you think it is time to rethink our approach to this character trait? Is it time to view it as a strength instead of a weakness?  On popular demand 🙂
