We as parents, caregivers, and nurturers have a responsibility to study our children very consistently and intentionally.  It is so important in terms of trying to learn the nature of who they are and what they need to flourish and become their divine and authentic selves in the world in which they will have to navigate their lives.  They must grow into confidence, self-acceptance, and most importantly-loving and respecting themselves.  Obviously, we play a huge part in crafting and designing the physical environment that our children live and play in, but even more critical is what the environments are that impact them emotionally.  Children do a lot of adapting to things and people and we have to be sensitive to how much we are expecting of them to do that.

We must be mindful of who we engage them with and if certain people illicit a positive or negative response from them.  I want to be clear!!! Children vibrate at a much higher vibrational level than we do.  Their senses are acute and highly sensitive to every sound, texture, and soul vibration that they encounter.  They don’t operate with the protective defensive filters that we create for ourselves as we evolve through our lifetime experiences.  Children are raw!! Children are clear!! Children are open and vulnerable to what comes into the sphere of their “being”.   They only have us to help support and protect them, until they mature to a space where they can ward off or articulate what they are or not comfortable with.  I actually have witnessed an infant become traumatized every time one of our friends would approach the front door.  She sensed something that she was uncomfortable with, and this happened every time!  Children can recognize the soul expression of people and they respond accordingly. Take note my friends and be sensitive to what they are expressing to you.

My other concern is that we make sure that in our daily activities that we engage children in support them having a balance of physically active activities and quiet reflective activities where they can sit and gather their thoughts and center their energy so that they don’t fall into a situation where they are always on high gear”.  There has to be high energy and quiet spaces in their daily routine. The activities they engage in and the spaces in which they engage, must compliment what is needed for their well-being.  It is our responsibility to make sure we provide the spaces to be in full physical expression as well as the quiet gentle places that they can retreat to.  One of those quiet, gentle, safe places just might be in your arms! It’s a balancing act! Also remember that no two children are alike, so you will have to support each child according to their unique divine identity.  It is a beautiful journey this “parenthood” and just think-you have been given the “Gift”!
