The Challenges of Parenthood

Parenting...now that is a heavy topic.

I thought I would tackle this tonight because I have been having some interesting conversations with my kids. My 4 kids are all different. Actually, all the people in our family are different.

This can be a challenge. What works for one person might not work for another. I try my best to work with my kids and to be honest. One of my pet peeves is lying or being sneaky. If we can all talk openly I'm happy. But then at times, our conversations are not so happy. Sometimes they are dark which honestly bothers me.

When a teenager that is close to your family dies in a tragic car accident, it opens up a lot of conversations you wish you didn't have to have. It is a teaching moment. I have to explain things on different levels based on the child. I also have to get into those areas of discussion that are uncomfortable for most parents.

I constantly talk about drinking and drugs and hanging out with people that might not be good for your kids. Of course, we all hope and pray that our kids will be different. Well, as I am learning...kids are kids.  We must let them make some of their own mistakes and pray they aren't the big ones.

I must say that I'm trying my best to stay in the light and to keep things positive. I am realizing I can only talk so much and hope they are listening.  I go back to my room and think about our conversations and just hope and pray that things will work out. Things always work out.

There is a reason for everything and I must accept this. If I keep myself on that positive path, then things with my kids will stay positive too. The law of vibration is at work. My lesson for tonight is to let go of the worry and know that my kids are protected and that they are on their life's path.

Boy have I learned a lot from my kids. I keep adding more and more to my book which I hope to publish by the end of the year. It's Kids Soul Desire - Inspiring the desires within your child.

Have a great night!
