How do we Teach Our Children to Live by The Law of Attraction?

I don't know how many of you had an opportunity to watch Joanne on The Naked Salon (see background info on March 14th blog... sorry, but no... not a naked show-lol) but it was a fun show and a great topic was discussed. For those of you who didn't see it , check out youtube.com where clips will be posted in the near future under Tne Naked Salon- Teach Our Children Well.

In essence we discussed how do we teach our children to be joyful and productive adults ? I shared, that in my experience as both a parent and educator, the best teaching strategy there is, is teaching by example. As parents we need to consciously parent, remembering that our children will do as we do and not as we say. With this in mind, we can raise empowered, loving and giving children by modeling those qualities we want to see in our kids. We need to be mindful of what we do. We need to create environments that are warm and accepting to promote feelings of security and self-confidence. We do this by setting limits for behavior, promoting self-esteem, encouraging open communication and the expression of feelings; and lastly by modeling and teaching positive social skills. There's no doubt that if we as parents live the secret everyday, our children will follow in our footsteps and do the same. The Law of Attraction will then respond, giving them the life they want.
