Are your children constantly asking you for money? Or other things like more toys, more candy, more “fill in the blank.”
And do you sometimes get frustrated because you don’t want to keep saying “No, you can’t have that.” You don’t want to squash their natural desire for more.
It is only natural and healthy to want more, after all.
So what’s a parent to do?
I just listened to a wonderful, short Abraham-Hicks video on youtube:
A Mom asks the question, “My 4-year-old daughter wants so many things…but I don’t want to keep saying ‘No’. But I can’t give her everything she keeps asking for. What do I do?”
Here’s my notes of what Abraham said (but watch the video so what I’ve written here will make more sense):
Say your child wants more money. You could say…
“I love it that you want more money. And I love it how your desire will bring you more money from a lot of different places.”
Focus on the perfection of your child’s desire instead of focusing on YOU being the sole provider through which all of their money will flow.
You can add, “Won’t it be fun to watch what other avenues your money will come from?”
I can definitely express this to my teenagers when they keep asking me for more money. You can adjust the language when communicating to toddlers.
You’ll have to listen to the video to really get all this…but I thought it was so helpful. I know one parent who makes a habit of never saying “No.” Instead, she says to her little ones, let’s put that on the list!
And she adds whatever they want to a list on the refrigerator…with the idea behind it being…it’s sort of their vision board/manifestation list. She also explains how it’s amazing how her children seem to manifest the things on the list!
Plus, there’s so many more lessons in this video, such as…
Children come to teach us about unconditional love.
No one can make me feel anything. I am the only one responsible for how I feel.
The longer you live, the more you get used to your tantrums. You just learn how to stop screaming (like little 4 year olds do when they’re out of alignment with their true source.) When you are aligned with your inner source, the less inner trantrums you will have.
How to be the best parent you can be: Mind your own Vortex…in other words…model being aligned with your true source/Inner being…and allow your children to do the same.
Your main job is to “get in the Vortex”. Get in the vortex means, constantly strive to get to a better feeling place by thinking better and better thoughts.
Demonstrate how to “Be in the Vortex” by example and not through your words. In other words, children learn from what you do, instead of what you say.
