Humanity is at its best when we mentor our young women and men who lives in our communities! We give them love, direction, inspiration, motivation and full heart-on integrity. Because the last thing we want for our young daughters and sons is to commit into something that we do not approve. However, this is where we as parents are now tested for our words we use; actions we take; intentions we do; the place we interact and how we choose safety for others, most especially for our children.
Our motives are being watched. Our “white lies” become their lessons. The instructions we give, whether it’s a favor or pursued for the parent’s motives. We know our children, whether in grade or high school, they learn from our mistakes as well as our intentions that we deem okay to do!
A child can grow up knowingly that making choices to hurt someone without consciously seeing the consequences. We may see this as a replica of what has been created, worded, or impacted in our household. This is a word of intuitive parenting: never instruct a child that you deem is wrong for others. As this is embedded memory that one day he or she will justify to you it’s okay. As he or she has memories, unknowingly, that as parent you deemed your intentions to be “okay”.
Be kind. Be a great example. Be a mindful parent.
