Welcome to Steemit @rissakoirtyohann. So glad to have you participating in this revolutionary platform. I love that you are writing about parenting. I believe it to be one of the most noble and important things to give our attention to.
Children are definitely a reflection of the self. I feel it is of great importance to tune into where the kids are before the tantrums begin, holding space for them to be heard and to get their needs met before they need to scream out for attention. Often more easily said than done as we ourselves were not raised being honored for the whole beings that we are, but instead to be molded and coerced into who others believe we should be.
Parenting can be way easier than we believe it to be. Our ideas of the terrible twos and horrible teenagers are ideas we perpetuate. There is no need for rebellion when we truly tune into a child and let them show us the way. It is however, often easier said than done.
Good for you for broaching the subject and helping to raise the awareness that there is another way. Glad to see you sharing yourself. <3
I've been writing a lot about children lately too. Here is one of my posts I'd like to share with you.
