OBLIGATIONS AS A PARENT

Obligations as a Parent

Our children are our children regardless of their age.  We will always be Mom or Dad to our kids, although as we age, the gap certainly begins to shrink.  In some cases, our children become our best friends, after all they have been with us since their beginning.

As they mature into themselves, it is important to remember that as we made our way through adversity and learned valuable lessons so will our children.  We are their parents but, at some point, we must step back, trust in the seeds we planted and let them learn through life’s experience and their own judgement.

This can be a very difficult task, as we feel we must advise and help in whatever way we can.  Reassure them that we are always there for them. The lessons they learn through experience are the most valuable and the ones that they remember. 

Do you remember when your parents tried to advise you? 

Most of us felt they were out of touch and interfering.  Your children will likely feel the same way.

We do have obligations as parents and we do our best.

The world they are growing up in is different from the one we grew up in. Life was easier on some levels and also more challenging on other levels.  

Be the example they need. Nothing speaks louder.

Remember you are human. If you made mistakes when they were young, acknowledge the mistakes and then let go.

Every day is a learning experience. Our obligations as a parent is to teach by example and to love and reassure them that we care. They too will make mistakes just as we did. Forgive them and forgive yourself.

INNOCENT BYSTANDERS

Generally, the ones that are affected the most by life’s situations are children.  They are highly in tuned to what transpires around them, especially in their formative years.  Their parents are their main influencers and then as they age, they become more and more affected by their peers and social media. 

In the past, the mother has been the most influential with her nurturing and caring and the father through security and stability. Today this is not necessarily the norm as today’s parents often share all responsibilities or can switch rolls completely.

Children are often innocent bystanders, being influence by outside sources such as the affection shared and shown between parents or their aggression, for that matter. 

Innocent Bystander

We teach the development of love and affection through our examples. What children see in day-to-day interaction is taken as normal because these are normal in their lives.  Family traits quite regularly are carried forward.

There can also be influencers well beyond the family unit during the informative years. Those born in war-torn countries, for example, become less shell shocked than those not experiencing these circumstance. Fear and oppression however can be the norm for them and families can do little to alleviate these conditions for their families.

Violence, abuse, fear and aggression in any form are experiences we want to eliminate for everyone.

Change begins at the family level and then progresses to friends, communities, countries and the world. Through our actions, we generate or create waves of energy that spread outward in all directions, similar to the waves on the ocean. 

Your actions, no matter how large or small, have consequences and flow out influencing our world. Everything builds and moves in all directions.  Our actions create. Let’s influence the innocent bystanders and our world to be a better place by being that energy that will influence it in this way.
