We set the emotional temperature in our homes.

We need to get far more conscious of the parent-child bond.Īnd, it really doesn’t matter how old your children are, either, whether they are babies, toddlers, or in primary or high school.

If there is something presenting in my children, before intervening and disciplining, or ‘fixing’ them, I look inwards and ask, “What is it in me that is reflecting in my child’s behaviour right now?” It’s incredible how my own current stress, or unresolved ‘stuff’, impacts on my children. I say this not just a nice theory, it is something I have experienced with my own children, over and over again. While there is no doubt that there are children who need outside intervention and support, I believe there are many instances in which, if parents did what they need to do to heal themselves and resolve their own issues, change in children would be seen very quickly and with little angst and effort. It’s easier to work on and change you, than it is to fix your child. That the best way to effect change in your children is to work on yourself. This poem so supports what I have always believed about parenting. I’m trying to teach my children that I have a lot to learnīecause I’m learning that letting go of them It’s through living a fulfilling life myself I’m learning that the best way to teach my children to live a fulfilling life I’m learning that fulfilment can’t be attained through giving myself away.īut, through giving to myself and sharing with others. I’m learning that life is meant to be filled with as much sadness and pain as happiness and pleasure.Īnd allowing ourselves to feel everything life has to offer is an indicator of fulfilment. I’m learning that words of wisdom fall on deaf ears if my actions contradict my deeds.Ĭhildren tend to be better impersonators than listeners. Otherwise, her children will absorb exactly what she’s attempting to overcome. I’m learning that no one overcomes her past unless she confronts it. They know their mother better than she knows herself. I’m learning the importance of honest exchanges of feelings because pretences don’t fool children, I’m learning that a healthy child will have his own set of emotions Without robbing my children of their individual dignity by feeling their emotions too. I’m learning to just experience my own emotions. So, now I’m learning to be a woman first and a mother second. I’m recognizing that ceaseless giving translates into giving yourself away.Īnd, when you give yourself away, you’re not a healthy mother and you’re not a healthy self. I’m finding a need to mesh what’s best for my children with what’s necessary In a society preoccupied with how best to raise a child

In her book, she shares the following insightful meditation on motherhood that makes for the perfect Women’s Month gift for you:Ī MEDITATION ON MOTHERING By Nancy McBrine Sheehan She encourages women to mother themselves well for the sake of their own future health. Says Dr Christiane Northrup, holistic physician, obstretrician and gynaecologist (and a favourite author of mine), in her best-selling book, “ Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (Piatkus, 1998). “Mothering ourselves takes a great deal of courage,” While all parents make sacrifices for their children, living in a state of continuous self-sacrifice is not a healthy plan for motherhood. Every mother must learn to mother herself in order to be a good mother to her children. While I strongly believe in being emotionally present and showing up for your children, in our busy, multi-tasking lives today we have to find creative ways of doing this on the run, without committing self-sacrifice in the process.
