Children are a joy and as parents our love, guidance, and consistent enforcement of boundaries will teach them how to help themselves. In the early years of development we are financially responsible for providing their material, physical, emotional, and psychological needs. After that it’s about releasing control and providing a nurturing, supportive, environment helping them learn values. Being parents is a balance between discipline and nurturing.
Guilt and shame interfere with our children’s development and our parenting. We can hold them accountable for their actions at an age-appropriate level. Of course, we need only do our best. Then we can let go of their own process of living.
So, we can ask for strength to help us find an appropriate balance of responsibility to our children. We can ask for help in parenting through nurturing and discipline, instead of control. Then we can let go and trust in the embrace of love found in the “Azure Edge”.
