Parents: Teaching The Secret

Okay.... so I do believe strongly as an educator that The Secret (or AKA the Law of Attraction) should be part of every school curriculum- I've made that very clear in my last 5 blogs. But the next question I put to all of you is: What is the role of parents in all this?

Keeping in mind that most children start school at age 5; the parents are the primary and only teachers for these first 5 years. This becomes such an important factor or foundation in the growth and development of the child. Raising empowered and joyful children starts with setting an example.As parents we have the capacity to help our children reach their limitless potential through choices we make in our parenting roles. You cannot parent your children until you learn to parent yourself. Parents are the role models (of both their good and bad behavior) for their children. Research is clear that children are more likely to do as their parents do rather than what they say. The key is to consciously parent- be mindful and aware of the impact our actions have on our children so that we can guide them in a way that empowers them to be true to themselves and make a difference in the world.
How does that work? To be continued...
