✨You are the one your child first imitates.
✨You lay the foundation.
✨You influence your child more than anyone else especially in their young years.
✨You show them how to treat you and others by how you treat them.
Did you know that even the most simple interactions that happen between you and your child every day like the words you speak, your tone of voice, how you express your feelings - they affect your child and greatly impact their behavior.
Take a few minutes to -
Reflect on the daily interactions that you have with your child and see where you need to grow.
Reflect on how you show up everyday and notice what you would like to change in yourself so that you can be the best example for them.
Reflect on what’s holding you back, what the blocks are and what will help you in becoming the parent you envision.
It’s not easy, and you don’t need to be perfect, no one can - what’s important is having awareness - this is what will make a big difference.
Your child looks to you for everything because you are their example. You show them what’s important and valuable in your relationship with them.
AND what you show them is how they will be in relationship with you in their adult years.
When you give your child what they need most, you also cultivate healthy communication, harmony, peace, understanding, empathy and compassion in your relationship with them.
When you give your child what they need most and love them unconditionally, parenting is less stressful which makes family life less stressful. Days are more peaceful plus you and your child will be happier!
Being able to give your child what they need means two things-
1. Fill your cup everyday even if it only happens in small ways. Think of the most simple things that make your heart sing.
2. Make it a practice to continually work on growing yourself.
Children show us in so many ways the areas that we need to develop in ourselves.
