Do you believe there a right way or wrong way to raise children? This question has been the fuel for many heated discussions and debates throughout the years between parents, parenting coaches, psychologists and parenting experts. It is the one thing all parents will have an opinion on…how to raise their children. Parents take raising their children very personally and for the most part believe that because they have either biologically produced or legally assumed responsibility for a child’s life they instinctively know what is best for that child. Parenting professionals tend to incorporate their personal thoughts and opinions that are reflective of their own personalities and experiences into their approach to parenting and strongly support their method.- Do you know anyone who responds well to constant criticism?
- Do you know anyone who performs at their best when being screamed at?
- Do you know anyone who reacts in a positive way when surrounded by negativity?
I think we can all agree that the answer is no to all of these questions.
- Do you want your child to be independent or dependent?
- Do you want your child to be cooperative?
- Do you want your child to have an attitude of gratitude?
- Do you want your child to be respectful and considerate?
- Do you want your child to love themselves and love life?
- Do you want your child to openly communicate with you?
- Do you want your child to trust you?
- Do you want your child to have a positive attitude?
- Do you want your child to be respectful?
- Do you want your child to have a sense of personal responsibility?
- Do you want your child to go through life fulfilled and passionate?
- Do you want your child to have the courage to live out his dreams?
Determining the answer to these critical questions will provide you with very specific criteria as to how you need to approach your parenting journey. It is a matter of identifying the intended outcome and then applying the proper ingredients to achieve the desired results. To do otherwise is not a recipe for success but a recipe for anxiety, frustration and stress. It is no different than saying you want to bake a cake and then leaving out eggs and adding sugar instead of flour. When you have clearly defined your desires for your children (what kind of cake) you will then have a specific list of ingredients that you must incorporate into raising your children…otherwise you will never get the result (delicious cake) that you want.Better Hurry and Act Now!
