This Mother’s
Day, take some time to find out who your child really is. Find out what they
are all about. We carry with us way too many stereotypes of girls and boys, and
of females and males.
Many of the role
models we experience in society are inaccurate. Some stereotypes may come from
your own family background and traditions. It is unfair to place these roles or
stereotypes on your children.
If you don’t
value and honor your child for whom he or she is, then they will not be able to
value and honor themselves.
This may be a
challenge because of your own past experiences in relationships. You may see
someone else in your child because of something in your past. Work through this
because that miss-perception about your son or daughter will not allow you to
connect in love.
That irrational
or erroneous belief about your son or daughter will take you out of
relationship with your child.
I hope you have
been enjoying a very Happy Mother’s Day.
