the incoming children - mood indigo

[norral]

i like the part where Ra talks about sharing our spiritual practice with the children. how very very true. my personal belief is one of the best things u could do is get your children involved with yoga from a young age. that is a wonderful gift to five them
as far as discipline to me its all how u do it. our thoughts on that have evolved over time. i do feel that with the children today u must be clear as to the reasons why something is being done and u must be firm. and of course we must have compassion in our dealings with them. we most definitely are stewards of a most precious treasure and the children need to know that we view them as that. i am always clear with the grands and firm and kind. and it works they listen to me and we dont really have behavioral issues with them.
what i have also noticed is that parents get into certain patterns in relating to their children. and that children will most definitely act differently with the parents present than they will when they are just with me. and not neccessarily for the better either. it does pay to be clear about boundaries with the kids and to let them know what is acceptable and what is not. just my thoughts
