Parenting is one of life's most challenging and rewarding experiences. Being a parent means experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions from pure joy to utter frustration -- sometimes in the span of a just few minutes. How we handle these emotions determines the quality of our relationship with our children and our life as a family. It is easy to love our children when they are well-behaved and happy. It is much harder when they are tired, hungry, crying or acting out. Yet it is at these times that they most need our love and understanding.
All children are difficult some of the time. When faced with their behavior we often find ourselves stuck in unconscious patterns. We respond in unproductive ways. Giving in to anxiety, passivity or anger prevents us from being the kind of parent we know we can be: wise, loving, accepting and firm. We need to master ourselves first if we want to teach our children the capacity for self-reflection and self-control.
Children do not come with a user's manual. We are all learning on the job throughout every stage of their lives. Parenting is the only job where you are hired without any experience and expected to perform as if you were an expert. It is normal to feel confused, overwhelmed and frustrated when we face the awesome challenge of raising a human being.
Parenting is also one of life's most spiritual experiences. Love is the essence of spirituality and parenting offers us the opportunity to practice love in our daily actions. We are the guardians of our children's unique personalities, their creativity and their spirits. Through our nurturing, they develop their core identity and learn about their life purpose.
Conscious and creative parenting means teaching your children what you want them to learn by your own example. It means creating a relationship with your child based on unconditional love. Our goal is to foster the healthy development of our children so that they become creative, competent, caring people with whom we can experience the joy of living.
