Seven Thoughts on Spiritual Parenting
Dr Joshua David Stone
Being a parent is one of the greatest tasks and challenges in life. For your enjoyment, here are
seven thoughts on parenting from a Spiritual perspective:
Realize that your children are not really your children. They are God’s Sons and Daughters and you are only their caretaker in this lifetime until they grow up and learn to think for themselves.
Realize that your children are adult Souls incarnating into children’s bodies.
Realize that you chose your children and your children chose you to serve as their parent.
Affirm that your relationship to yourself and God comes first in your life, before your relationship to your child.
Realize that your job is to provide boundaries and parameters for your children while still allowing them to grow in their own unique Spiritual Mission and Purpose.
Always treat your child with firmness and love.
Only give attention to your child’s positive behavior and give as little as possible attention to its inappropriate behavior. Your kids want your attention. The less attention you give to inappropriate behaviour, the less they will do it. The more attention they get for appropriate behaviour, the more they will do that!
The Integrated Enlightened Master raises their kids in a way where they can become Integrated Enlightened Masters in their own right. They teach them everything they know and practice. They realize that they are the mentor and Spiritual teacher of their kids and do not give them free reign to do whatever they want.
The Integrated Enlightened Master realizes that the philosophy that many parents have when it comes to parenting, that kids should be allowed to do whatever they want because they are individuals in their own right is a grave mistake.
When a child is born, by definition, it is run by the subconscious mind. It has not yet learned to think for itself. This is why each child is put under the care of parents who have the job of teaching the child how to think properly. In the initial years especially but also until children learn to really think for themselves, parents function as the conscious mind for the children, which they themselves have not yet developed.
