Parenting without worry and fear, is a lesson on how perfect you are.

AHA'S AND ACTION:

Here are 2 thoughts, 2 inspirations, and 1 question for you to reflect on this week…

2 THOUGHTS FROM ME

1. I work with parents transitioning through separation and divorce and many of them are worried about how their kids will ‘turn out’. Heck, I felt the same way two decades ago when I decided that divorce was best for myself and my family. 

The thing is your kids don’t ‘turn out’, they are not banana bread in the oven. They are free spirits and love.

I am not worried about how my kids will ‘turn out’ because they are perfect just the way that they are. I love and celebrate them every day.

2. I want my kids to be happy. When I catch myself wishing they would do this or do that I remind myself that this is their life, and they are free to do what is best for them. I relax and simply enjoy being with them, laughing with them, and enjoying who they are.

2 INSPIRATIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE

1. “Within you is the light of a thousand suns.” by Robert Adams.

2. “True happiness is... To enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.” by Seneca.

1 QUESTION FOR YOU

1. What can I do or say today to express my love for each of my children, to celebrate how perfect they are?
