Communicating with Children and Family

Communicating with our children and family is about relating in love, one on one, with each individual member of that family. From one point of view, we don’t choose our family of origin. From a higher perspective, we do. We choose our parents and our family; we choose those who will help us develop our character and values, and we do so for the challenge such education will offer us in our life journey.

Just as we have chosen, at a soul level, our parents and family, so have our children! We, as parents, may well take this opportunity to make sure we offer the best values and life opportunities we possibly can for our children. We can start by opening wide the lines of communication with our children and family members.

Relationship Ebb and Flow

Relationships aren't supposed to be boring, difficult, or distant. They're supposed to be peaceful, rewarding, and fun! If your relationship with your lover has turned a little chilly, lost its excitement or is now just plain boring, when did it begin to lose its spunk?

Can you find the moment, the one point in time that turned the tide from flowing in, to flowing out and away, and away and yet further away from your relationship? Maybe your relationship with your partner just gradually lost its sparkle over time, stressed by the demands made on you by children, business, finances, diverging interests or just by the sheer boredom of familiarity.

All our relationships, as too, our business success, sporting prowess and flow of life generally, begin as a thought in our mind. Remember when you first fell in love with your partner; you thought of them day in, day out.

Baby Boomer Wisdom

One of the greatest assets of modern society is the baby boomer generation. They are the youthful elders of our society, the wisdom holders, and the insightful teachers skilled with real life experience. These are the women and men who have lived through the hard knocks of life and have learned from their experiences; they have gained the wisdom that only time and experience can give.

Family Relationships

Of all relationships we build in the course of our life, perhaps the most fundamental is that of family. The family relationship is like no other in that often the boundaries are blurred. Whatever family may mean for you, it is precious and serves your growth.

Family embraces multiple-aspect relationships, including: parent with its child, child with parent, parents with their children, children with parents, parent with their partner as parent, brother with sister and vice versa, and child as one of several siblings. And these are only some of the relationships formed within the nuclear birth family!
