In the new
millennium what do we want our children of the future to be like? What lessons
do we want them to learn?
You have a duty to yourself to care for
yourself first and nourish yourself, so that you can care for and nourish
others, including your children.
Emotional
well-being: What is emotional
well-being?
Laevers’
(1994) ‘Sound well-being results from satisfaction of basic needs – the need
for tenderness and affection; security and clarity; social recognition; to feel
competent; physical needs and for meaning in life. It includes happiness and satisfaction,
effective social functioning and the dispositions of optimism, openness,
curiosity and resilience.’
How do I
feel as a parent, carer, teacher? How
you feel radiates out into the world.
Children are very sensitive to your emotions. To reach higher consciousness and vibrations
within the body is to feel love, joy and peace and be flowing in life. As humans we rely too much on external
factors for happiness. If we do this
then ultimately sadness is the opposite and we live in ‘duality’ of the
two. A conscious person uses ‘awareness
and response’ and not ego and reaction.
Teaching ourselves and our children to think before they speak and act
is vitally important. In addition, we
need to not blame others for our circumstances and choices we have made in our
life and teach children ‘ownership’ of their behaviour.
Yoga practice can help in developing these good virtues to live by.
