Parenting Spiritually in support of your child.

Raising children through choice, not control.

“As a mother of 7 children, I have celebrated the highs and struggled with the lows of parenting. I bore my 1st child at 19 and my 7th at 42. No other book or course gave me the reasoning, understanding and importance of the different phases of growth, the impact of spiritual values on a child’s life, and what practical actions can be taken in the grind of daily living to equip them to recognise their own power and reason for being here in this life journey." — Trish Lehman

What is Parenting Spiritually?

Parenting is the most complex job people on earth face, with the least training and assistance to accomplish it.

Traditionally parenting is undertaken on an instructional model, that is, the parent tells the child what to do because the parent believes they know better. The spiritual component of parenting spiritually introduces the component of parenting through choice.

This is an entirely new approach to parenting which will allow the child to better achieve what it came to earth to do and to relieve the parent of a lot of the pressure of parenting.

PARENTING RESOURCES

Why Parenting Spiritually?

Consider the helpless infant, unable to fend for itself. A parent must attend to all of their needs in this early stage. Suddenly the parent lessens this behaviour and starts to tell the child what to do. When the child starts to do differently from what the parent told them to do, the parent overrides the child’s choice with an instruction.

At this stage the parent is saying to the child, no matter what you think you want to do, I know better, just do it my way. If you do I will reward you (including through the lack of admonition) and if you don’t, I will punish you (including through raised voice or exclusion).

This offers the child no choices. It is exacerbated when the parent tells the child they are ‘good’ because they have done what the parent wanted them to do.

The outcome of this style of parenting is that the child learns to be a good child by forgoing their own needs in order to please and satisfy their parents. Invariably, this spreads to other authority figures in their childhood such as relatives and teachers.

The child grows up without an independent voice for their own thoughts and a belief that somehow their own needs will be met throughout life just by pleasing and satisfying others. This plays out in adult relationships and unless the child changes in adulthood, will never result in a deep ongoing, and loving relationship.
