How do you react when your child says he or she needs to live a different life?



Listen To The Children

Our children are our most
precious miracles sent to
us by God almighty to show
us love, acceptance, and
understanding.

Children are innocent in their
thoughts and deeds even if
they may seem cruel to other
children. They don't know the
difference as they copy us.

Children say the darndest things
that make the adults smile and
laugh, but if we listen very closely
to what our children are saying
we can learn a lot from them.

Our children are individuals and
have unique thoughts and dreams
and we must allow them to grow
into the lives they see that they
must live to be happy.

If our children seem to go in
different paths, that is because
they are not us and cannot live
our lives. They should be allowed
to grow as they see fit.

We should all take the time to be
accepting, loving, and understanding
toward our children, because they are
the lives that will keep this world going
in the mantra of the universe.

So when your child says they cannot live
as they are, but have picked a different path,
do not berate them, do not punish them,
but love, accept, and try to understand
what they are going through.

Love your child unconditionally regardless
of how you think he or she must live. They
have the dreams of the future, and we
must allow them to follow those dreams.
Second star to the right and off into morning.

Our children are our most
precious miracles sent to
us by God almighty to show
us love, acceptance, and
understanding.
