The Ten Keys to sacred parenting are applicable to all stages of parenting be it during the first stage (pregnancy), the second stage (early childhood), the third stage (school age), the fourth stage (teenager), or the fifth stage when your child is an adult. The joy of parenting lasts forever!
Wikipedia definition
Communication (from Latin "communis", meaning to share) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior.
The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender.
Rarely do we communicate
we just take turns talking
COMMUNICATION IS ONLY GIVEN WHEN IT IS RECEIVED
Communication with your child starts from the day your child was conceived. The fact that you have begun reflecting on the 'gift of life' and are able to recognize the magnificence of creation through this gift, is in truth the beginning of real communication.
As the months go by it is really important to talk to your unborn child - not only talk but listen and feel your tummy, and inside your tummy, as you talk. Watch softly for the baby`s response. Subtle at first but as the foetus grows you will feel the responses more and more clearly.
You are already building up a very positive, loving relationship between you and your child. Soothing words of love and happiness will allow your child to feel nourished and safe within the confines of the womb. Communicate caring and love through song. The unborn child will respond to your voice and to the vibrations of your emotional state and words. Resting your hands on your tummy as you communicate to he, or she, will help strengthen the feeling of love and trust within the relationship that now exists between you and your baby. Bonding on a deeper spiritual level will now take place.
It is a really good idea to spend quiet time communicating and bonding with your unborn baby each day.
After the baby is born this quiet intimate time together creates further bonding. When you feed your baby make sure you quietly enjoy this special time together. This time allows the baby to safely be nourished without distraction. Spiritually speaking eating meals with loved ones whilst appreciating the food, as well as eating whilst content, allows the food to be better digested and the mind more balanced.
SOFT COMMUNICATION - Food for the Soul
As your baby is growing into a toddler, and from then onwards, it is really wise to practice the art of soft communication. The child will then learn to respect others as he or she will know that he or she, has been heard.
Being heard creates self respect and respect for others. When time is taken listening and allowing a child to express his or her points of view, and ideas, then that child learns self-worth. Sadly most parents are rushing here and there and feel that they haven`t the time to patiently listen to a little child. It is no wonder that kids feel unwanted, and lack self-worth, and therefore get into all sorts of trouble when they are teenagers!
Soft communication is a process that involves respect for whom you are talking to, patience, and the art of listening with more than ears. If we take the time to actually see, feel and hear the response to our words we can begin to understand the other person more clearly. We also replace judgement with respect, fear with love, unworthiness with worthiness. Real communication then takes place. Most problems in later life stem from poor communication skills. More on this subject in another post at a later date.
EVERYONE WANTS TO BE HEARD
EVERYONE NEEDS TO FEEL WORTHWHILE
THIS INSPIRES THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL
TO EXPRESS ITSELF MORE FREELY
THUS CREATING ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
FOR REALIZING
THE SOUL`S FULL POTENTIAL
Here`s to taking the time to listen
Cheers and Love CMW
