New Kind of Parenting

Do you think that a Parent who subscribes to personal growth and development is a better Parent than one that doesn't?

I think so. Why? Because of the principle of transferance. That means that Parents transfer their values and beliefs to their Children and those values and beliefs then become part of who that child becomes even as an adult. Remeber we can only give that which we have. SO whoever a parent is on the inside is what they transfer to their children.
Parents are also the first role models of their Children so the children copy what they see in their Parents. So if a parent does not like what they see in their children who do you think they need to look at closely? the Parent.

One time when my daughter was below 2 ( she is now 16) i told her something and the next thing i knew she took an object next to her and she threw it to the other side of the room. I was shocked. Where did that come from? Children are born knowing nothing so where did she learn that from. So I decided to observe myself. I found out that when I am angry with my child, i would take whatever she was holding and I would throw it on the other side of the room. Are you shocked like I was?

So I had taught my baby, below 2 years, that when one is angry they throw objects around. I so changed my behaviour and became more observant of myself, the role model and realized that there was a copycat in my house so I had to choose my words and actions very carefully. Such observation was only possible because i was into personal growth. I don't think my mother, who was not into personal growth, would notice anything like that.

What do you think?
