Would You Object To Your Child Being Rich?

Why of course not...what a strange question, right? The whole family could benefit from a child being rich.

However, how do we know if our environment is strengthening the creativity of our children? Understanding that our children are processors observing and learning from us completely until the age 7 brings that responsibility home to the parents.

So as parents, are our mindsets toward abundance or moving toward lack? Do we tell our children they can do, be or have anything they set their mind to?

If you find you are one who perpetuates the atmosphere of lack in your home, you can begin shifting that attitude now. Here are some simple and free things you can do to instill more abundance into your home now:

1. Turn off the TV news. Listening to all the bad economy reports will not help your abundance level.
2. Stop reading the paper, especially the financial sections.
3. Feed your child's creativity and search for their gifts. Encourage them to follow their heart.
4. Begin a visioning routine to vision the life and things you want to do or have and teach your children to do the same.
5. Speak positively about your situation. Even if you do not have all the things you would like to have, begin appreciating what you do have. Many people find that writing down what they are grateful for each day is very beneficial.

Changing your mindset around money will definitely propel your children into manifesting more of what they want in this life.

Three Things Our Kids Need From Us Now In 2010

Like all of us I am sure you want to start out this new year being the loving parent you envision in your dreams. Well it can be as simple as giving your children the things they really need. Christmas has past and the gift giving was whatever you were able to give them for the Holiday, but you have gifts to give every day that can have far more impact than any present for an occasion will ever give them.

Here are the three things you can do now every day to improve the happiness of your child and help sustain their happiness.

1. Genuinely say "I love you" every day. Look them in the eyes when you say it. Your children want to hear that you love them and most importantly want to feel it from you.

2. Make a conscious effort to listen to them when they tell you a story or relay something to you. Let them know you heard what they said by repeating it back to them in summary. Oh the mileage you will get out of this one. Smiles all around for you who has heard them not only speak, but heard the message clearly.

3. Most importantly is to tell your child every day that they can do whatever they set their mind to do. Do you believe this? If yes, then they need to hear that you believe they are capable of accomplishing all that their heart longs to be, do and have. You will be encouraging and empowering them to fulfill their destiny and greatness.

What a powerful influence you are as a parent or guardian for a child. Live up to that influence starting now and propagate happiness within your child.

Parenting With Vision To A Child's Happiness

I am not referring to bullying or making sure our children know what they should be doing because parenting is something so much more important. Sure you have a sense of protection and security for your child, but our role is even more important than that.

Since our little ones are emulating us they are seeing the abilities we possess or do not possess to bring about what we want. Why is that important? Well, we want our children to have everything. We want them to have and do better than we did growing up. How can that happen if we cannot see it with our mind's eye? How can that be if we cannot see past our own situations and circumstances?

Holding a vision of your child's greatness in your mind is the importance of parenting. Giving them the room to expand into their greatness is the most powerful thing you can do as a parent. It is not only allowing, but also co-creating with them into their magnificance.

So how do you see your child? Is he a blessing or curse upon you? Is she talented or stagnated in her growth? See what I mean? Your view of them is their view of themselves. If you cannot see your child's possibilities then get a vision check because it is you that will hold that vision for their future now.

Christmas Is For Children

The sparkle in their eyes and excitement in their voices tell us they are all geared up for a Christmas. Or could it be just about the gifts. Hopefully not. We are hoping that our children get the true meaning of what giving is all about, aren't we?

Remember that they are seeing us and downloading our behaviors, mannerisms and beliefs. So what are they actually seeing us do for this season? Are we complaining about having to go to a party and bring a gift? Are we mumbling about some charity that always wants our contributions at this time of the year? Maybe they are wanting to see a spirit of loving, giving and true joy that only comes from the heart.

Make it a point to tap into your inner child and the joy that you once had for Christmas. Your child deserves to feel that love and joy too. If you did not have it as a child then it will be more difficult for you to produce that in your home this season, but not impossible if you are recognizing it right now.

Do not let another season go by without letting your child witness the magnificance within you and your heart, and how that can impact this world. Give what you can give. Find a need and meet it. Let your child see you in this light. Your heart will be full of joy as you remember the meaning of this season and its time for giving back and most importantly the recipients of your joy. Create that tradition and meaning in the heart of your child who so wants to be like you.

Your Energy Influence

Have you ever noticed how some children react differently when they are around certain people? Have you ever heard a grandparent remark how their grandchildren act differently when the parents are present? Well it might not be a coincidence.

Your vibrational energy around a child is very important. If you are a person of intent then your influence and experience with a child will be that of your intention. However, to the contrary, if you are resisting their strong will and playing a "who's the boss" game with your child then you may see acting out when they are in your presence.

In my opinion this is why most grandparents will see an angel when the parents are not present because they feel the love and appreciation for who they are from their grandparents who are not wanting anything but for them to be happy and enjoy their time visiting with them. The parent may be experiencing a completely different child than the one who grandma or grandpa sees.

Moms and dads often refer to grandma or grandpa's influence on the child as "spoiling" them, but actually it is an attraction to happiness, love and appreciation that draws the child to them. Unconditional love will win out every time. When we see our child through the eyes of love and cherish everything about them, they will know it. When we notice and contemplate on that we do not wish to see they will know that too.

If you are a parent the begin observing your child around their grandparents and take some helpful tips to allowing your child to flourish. If you are a grandparent then do what you instinctively know to do, love your grandchild with all your heart. They need all the love and happiness you can give them.

Who Cares About The Score?

A good guardian of a child's happiness is one who does not keep score of their wrong doing. You may think "well, that is easy for you to say for you do not live with my child." The truth here is that your child's alignment with source is actually stronger than your own. For over time your attention to all the things you do not want has caused you to move farther away from source.

This is a summarizing of the topic from the new book, The Vortex, by Abraham-Hicks, which discusses in detail around the thought that two individuals, parent and child, who are actually vibrating on different levels at times. The parent concentrates and focuses on the unwanted behavior and draws attention of it to the child. The child is aligning with source and holding to their inner guidance system. The child's emotion becomes negative from the unwanted vibration that is now the opposite of source's approval and appreciation thus creating the discord. This is a cycle that is repeated over and over if not corrected. Usually the parent is coming from a place of misalignment when dealing with the child.

A difficult or often stubborn child is one who holds fast to their awareness of their alignment with source. They have a strong awareness of their own guidance system which is often labeled "strong-willed." Abraham-Hicks goes on to say that "the moment you are influenced to deviate from your awareness of your own value then the most powerful desire that flows from you is to reconnect to that value." When your child is summoned to focus on their flaws and misconduct then their most powerful push-back to the parent is to reconnect to their value and self-worth thus creating the resistance.

This reaction causes children to begin to become people pleasers. They want to please their parents and others and therefore lose their connection with their source who loves and appreciates them for who they are. We all know people pleasers and actively take part in this behavior ourselves at times. In doing this, you also know how frustrated one can become in trying to please someone else all the time. It is paramount to us as parents and guardians to allow our children to keep and hold that alignment with their source, self value and self worth. By squelching it we can kill their spirit. Dr. James Dobson calls it breaking their will in his book "The Strong Willed Child."

Remember that focusing on the self worth and value that is inherent in your child from birth is the art of allowing them to be who they are. If you want to keep score then make note of how many times you are able to remember what you do want for them and what good qualities you do see in them. That is the score that will make the difference in the end.

Happiness Is A Choice

What if you had no choices anymore? What if none of us did? Each day when you wake up you have choices for what you are going to do for the day. Some people make lists, others have tasks on their calendars. Others are just good at keeping them in their head. While still there are other people who wake up with no thought of the day or how it is going to go.

Abraham-Hicks refers to the latter person as someone who lives by default. This is basically a person who floats along letting whatever come their way that is meant to come their way. It is not necessarily a bad thing, but when bad things come your way by default it makes you stop and think why did that happen. Take a car accident perhaps as an example and the two cars colliding on the roadway. What about the one who made no mistake and was just driving along and was hit by someone going out of control.

Living by default can mean the difference between a good life and a fully abundant life. It can mean the difference between good and great. Making an intention every day for how you want that day to go and who you want to be is the start of creating what it is you want and the life you want.

If you are not sure now what it is you would want for your life, then break it down into simple things such as "I want to be happy" and then choose to be happy and start your day with this intention. Intend to see only happiness and happy people and soon your happiness level will shoot up and you will begin to see only that which you want to see. Every day we have choices and by not using them we give them up to live by default. Our children need to know that every day is full of choice and we can have the outcome we choose by setting an intention in that direction.
