CHILDREN AND PARENTS. A CONSCIOUS APPROACH TO PARENTHOOD

CHILDREN AND PARENTS. A CONSCIOUS APPROACH TO PARENTHOOD. PART 1

The question of relationship between generations is as old as the world. The phenomenon is that still every parent has to solve this old and global question individually. And in the XXIst century we are not ready to look at this question through the prism of the techniques used before.

 

Time flies, and we need to keep up with it. New times bring the development of new communication techniques, change the methods of perceptions of certain situations, and, of course, alter the point from which we look at these situations.

 

The issue of the relationship between parents and children is particularly acute when children are in the adulthood transition period. From the physiological point of view, they are getting mature, but spiritually they are making their first contacts with the reality life. It is when a child becomes more independent and starts to understand spirituality in his or her own way. Parents should realize and accept the fact that their child is now capable of drawing his conclusions and making his own decisions. That their child is passing into a state of self-affirmation on his or her spiritual basis.

 

As a rule, this transitional stage changes an already established and happy parent-child relationships. Just “suddenly” everything gets complicated and confusing for both sides. Relationships become unpredictable like "turbulence", and it causes malfunctions in the overall family climate.

 

The question is simple: how to find a way to start a long-lasting, peaceful relationship with a child and strengthen family bonds?

 

Yes, the question is quite simple, but it's not so easy to find the answer, there are no patterns or rules universal for all of us. Of course, grandparents can make an invaluable input in the family reunion. Their experience and family genes provide parents with some support. However, it is usually not enough.

 

Awareness is a key strategy for finding the right answer to the question. The solution is easy to see when parents are aware of how they treat their child and how they handle the transition stage of the child's life. Awareness, as a human feature of the XXIst century, is especially relevant in the harmonious relations of children and parents in the new millennium.

 

People have always been living completely consciously (or not) and it had become one of the most important human features. But only in the Age of Aquarius, we have realized the significance of a conscious relationship with a child. The era has introduced new energies into our world, and that is how it is going to be for the next two thousand years. We should not ignore new circumstances brought by the new energies.

 

First of all, Awareness rises to the forefront and becomes a key homo sapiens characteristic. Second of all, things like age, nationality, geographical location are not that important anymore. Social networks and the Internet connect people and remove the barrier between them.

 

The notion of financial security is becoming less and less relevant as a democratic society development proves that the same things are available for every member of society. Everyone can afford to buy a car, to have a place to live, to have a secure job, to go out on the weekend, to travel and to get social insurance. So pretty much all those things that have been dividing the society for ages are now uniting it because everyone has equal access, to a greater or lesser extent, to everything he or she needs.
