Parental love comes in many shapes and it goes to different lengths for each parent. Parental love has different boundaries – ones that nurture and ones that destruct or paralyze. For most parents; they consciously or unconsciously practise both boundaries. The one we as parents need to be more conscious and cautious of is the latter practice when our love for our children is not nurturing their being but paralyzing.
Are you smothering your child or preventing their natural potential to surface and grow?
Are you enforcing an "illusion" that distraughts their beliefs of life?
Where do we draw the line?
When does our love become paralyzing and when does our love become nurturing?
It's a fine gray line for many parents
to walk on.
Quite often you hear parents say they are doing a certain "action" because they love their children – be it good or bad "action". And how much is too much?
When your child "suffocates"; that would probably be one sign we as parents are stepping into the paralyzing zones. Does "suffocating" your child ever work? I don't think so unless you want their being to die slowly within where they no longer know who they are or what is anymore without scrutinizing everything.
Parents who stay together in an unloving relationship because oftheir children…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children of WHAT IS?
Parents who smother their children and being over protective…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children of their capabilities to TRUST?
Parents who are overly strict with their children…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children's GROWTH and POTENTIAL?
Parents who abuse their children…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children with an illusion of WHAT LOVE IS?
Parents who nag their children endlessly…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children's PATIENCE from being SUPPORTIVE and EMPATHETIC?
Parents who don't give a damn about other people…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children from RESPECTING OTHERS?
Parents who have no sense of self worth and love…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children from SELF WORTHINESS and LOVE?
Parents who live in fear with everything they do…
Are they really NURTURING or paralyzing their children from TRYING THEIR BEST and BEING BRAVE in LIFE?
The list goes on and on. Too much or too little of everything has its consequences – nurturing or damaging.
We are not perfect parents but perfect to the best of our abilities. Sometimes what we think as "being loving" may not always be translated as that by our children. Sometimes we may think "we've done our best"; yet our children do not see as that. Sometimes we think it's in their "best interest" – IS IT? We shouldn't confuse ourselves with "WHAT REALLY IS" and "WHAT I THINK MIGHT or COULD BE" when it comes to our children and "their best interest."
What kind of parents are you?
