Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads #3-

Character Development- A Lifetime Process

The Building Blocks to Their Divine Identity

Each and every day they are in their process of discovering who they are!

Some of what I want to do in this category of Blogs for parents, is to go back to my book, “Embracing the Gift of Parenthood”, and reiterate and expound on different elements of the book that I feel will be helpful and that as we grow and evolve as parents, that there is still more truth and knowledge to color the context and content of our parenting strategies and philosophy.  One area of development and growth that I feel is crucial in raising and nurturing our children is that of helping them in the development of their character traits and behavior.  This of course involves us first looking at ourselves and coming to terms about what we do and do not want to pass on to our children.

Introspection and retrospection are important tools for us to access where we are in our own character evolution. Parents have to live the qualities of character they want to cultivate in the personality of their child. In each stage of development whether it is the child’s development or the relationship of child and parent, it takes a lifetime to acquire all of these crucial attributes that make up the fulfillment of the human design. We cannot abandon our children to this world of trickery, greed, and lust.  We owe it to them and to society as a whole, to raise children that will evolve to become contributing and functional adults.  Are you up to the challenge?  Are you ready to take on a journey that will help you become more of who you really are?  If your answer to these questions is yes, then by all means let’s continue the conversation. This journey of parenthood is really not as complicated as it is seems.

These children that we are making a lifetime commitment to are gifts that we ultimately have no physical or emotional control over.  What we do have, if we have done our work, is a spiritual connection that will never separate them from us.  It is this connection that last a lifetime and beyond.  When we have spent time modeling the appropriate attributes, values, and morals we can rely on this spiritual relationship to guide them throughout their lives.  Our thoughts and feelings will transmit to them in the most obscure way.

Can you remember when you were in the mist of doing something you knew that you were not supposed to do and you would hear your mother’s or father’s voice in your head?  Sometimes you would get a lump in your throat or discomfort in the pit of your stomach!  The most amazing thing is when we actually hear ourselves saying or doing things to or for our children that our parents said or did to or for us.  Many times, these responses are unintentional and merely more like a reflex response.  We must make sure that we carry only those things that are loving and respectful. We don’t want to impose anything on our children that is offensive and destructive. Think of what you share with them in the process of parenting, to build good self-esteem and confidence in your child.  Let your words and actions demonstrate the best of what you have to offer. This is the part of being a parent that makes it all worthwhile.

Cherish these days of your child’s youth.  These days don’t last forever, and they pass quickly.   The opportunity we have to influence them and make an imprint on their life is so short.  Peers take over before you know it and if you have not built a firm foundation for your relationship, you will miss the opportunity of a lifetime.  This is about building blocks that will carry them throughout life with tools to navigate society and their own personal divine journey!

Tiny Tips 4 Moms and Dads-#2- It’s a Big Job-But Somebody Has To Do It!

Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads#2

  It’s a big job-But Somebody Has to Do it!

         Clueing Into the Influencers in Our Child’s Life!

Oh, this is a big one in raising children!  We have to be constantly concerned that the people we are surrounding our children with, and even the people that are acquaintances are vetted by us.  I know to use the terminology- “vetted” seems serious, but if we do not take a serious look at the people that are influencing our children, we are leaving to chance, what their impact might be on not just them physically, but emotionally and psychologically!  There are also “Influencers” that impact our children in social media, and television content in programs that are geared for children.  These are times where the social engagement with children is off the chart in terms of securing their safety.  We as parents are the ones that are responsible for their safety and yes, it is a lot of work, but we have no choice!  We have to screen what they are exposed to in the world of technology.

There are so many hidden messages that are infused in what is supposed to be “children’s programing”, that I strongly suggest that if you are allowing your children to watch TV, or use the computer, that you not only set up guidelines of the “To do’s and the Not to do’s”, but that you are present in the room, or taking the time to engage in the watching of the tv program.  It is important for you to be eyes and ears, in what your child is being exposed to.  It is important that if questions come up in the process, that you are there to engage in the conversation.  The right information at the right time of your individual child’s maturation, is key to safeguarding your child’s innocence, and capability of processing information.  Have you ever observed that your child even has an emotional reaction to certain music. I observed that our kids get very sensitive to music in minor keys. Take note!

 

Then there is the interest and concern about who are the influencers that engage in our child’s life, and I don’t mean just friends and acquaintances!  Who are the members of our family that will be a positive stake holder in our child life and development?  Who are the family members who are healthy in mind, body, and spirit, that we can trust will lovingly and earnestly engage with our children appropriately?  Will they study the nature of our child and be willing to engage with them for “Who they are”?  Will they say and do things for them that will build their self-esteem and anchor them in loving and respecting themselves?

Will they make the time and spend the energy to “think before they speak” so that they say things that are context and content appropriate?  Will they be willing to share their knowledge, wisdom, and the legacy of your family that will ground them in pride, self-confidence, and respecting the value and legacy of your family?  Will they be truthful and respectful, and be adult enough in their own identity, that they realize that they must make sure that what they share with your child, has been sanctioned by you, as their parents.

 

Survey your family, and without bias and judgment but with wisdom and forethought decide who you feel safe engaging with your child!  Sometimes it is a very simple, statement, that someone can say to your child that is not being said with malice or thoughts of hurting them, but once said, it enters the psyche of a child, and believe me when I tell you it never leaves!  Somehow and at some time it will surface and color some essence of their life memory bank.  It is amazing how little things done and said in childhood can weave into some aspect of who we see ourselves or others as. Wow!  Parenthood is no joke, but “Great Spirit” is always there to support us if we but tune into the vibration!

Tiny Tips 4 Moms and Dads #1-Sometimes It Is Yes! Sometimes It Is No! Sometimes It Is Maybe!

Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads#1

Sometimes it is yes!

Sometimes it is no!

Sometimes it is maybe!

Sometimes it is not at this time because…

But we as parents must always start with-

Breathe-

“Let me think about it and we can talk”!

Believe it or not, kids really depend on us to make sound decisions.

They want to make independent decisions, but we have a responsibility to teach them how to do that in a way that is nurturing, protective, and inclusive. 

Wow! This is probably one of the hardest parts of being a parent!  The part that calls on us to know what is good for the development and safety of our children and what is not.  It is the time in their life where we are guiding and teaching them how to make appropriate decisions.  Decisions that will enhance the quality of their life experiences.  This is not something that is done overnight, and the maturity -intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, must be taken into account as we allow them to make more and more independent decisions.

No two children are the same and that is what can make it difficult to explain that what is good for one child, might not be good for another.  But as parents, we have no choice but to respond to each child individually.  In light of this dilemma, there has to be general foundational values that run thru the fabric of a family.  Children need consistency, continuity, and honesty.  They need to see a common thread of the decision process being used throughout the family members and dynamics. There has to be equality and consideration of everyone’s feelings and desires.

Parents have to come up with a process that works for their family.  But I would like to suggest the following:

  1. Sometimes you will be able to say “Yes” because the request is simple and requires no in-depth analysis on your part. You have to be grounded in what those things are if you are to respond responsibly.  Maybe even identify those things with your child so that they know that if the circumstances are right, you will most likely be able to grant their request.
  2. Sometimes you will have to say “No” because you know and I bet they kind of know-that what they are asking is clearly not in their best interest and might cause them harm. You might even identify the things that hypothetically, could be dangerous, not appropriate for their age, or would have serious repercussions not just physically, but emotionally.
  3. Sometimes it can be a simple “Maybe”, because it is something that you have given them permission to do before and it has proven to be a healthy, rewarding experience for them. This is the request that is about “Timing” and making it work in consideration to everything else that is going on in the life of the “Family”.  There are the individual needs and then there is also the needs of the “Collective.
  4. Then when a request gives you a little “pause”, you might just have to respond with –“Not at this time because…”. That is the one that teaches that there is not always instant gratification and allows for the development of “Patience”, which we as adults know to be one of the most difficult character traits to develop.  What I like about this is that we have the “because”.  I really believe it is important to treat children as intelligent human beings and they deserve for us to explain why we make these judgment calls. Even in this process we are modeling how to make the “best decision”!
  5. But the first thing we must do no matter what we say, even if for only a moment, is to –

Take a breath- and respond with our parental mantra for making informed decisions and say- “Let me think about it and we can talk”! Ooops- another opportunity to model patience, thoughtfulness, and love.  I would even sign this statement with a kiss.  They now know that they have your full attention and that what is transpiring in their life, is important and relevant to you.  This whole process can be empowering to children because this action entails their participation and input in the discussion that is to follow.

Next time we touch on this topic- we will contemplate on what are the driving thoughts and influences that create these requests.  It is of great importance that we survey that with our children.  It’s part of the awakening of how their world interfaces with the world we live in.

Oh, the Joys of Parenting!!

A Communal Transformative Parenting Hub- “Tiny Tips 4 Moms and Dads!

A Communal Transformative Parenting Hub-   

  “Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads”

 

Welcome to Our Parenting Hub!  Here we are creating a sacred space where I hope to share “Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads” that will make “Parenting” a journey that is both transformative and supportive as you embark on the “Journey through Parenthood”!  I hope that what is shared will be eye opening and uplifting and will give you a sense of peace and balance as a parent in “residence” with the gift of your child-children.

Parenting is basically a trial and error expereince as both the child and the parent navigate their relationship in a world that is evolving so rapidly, that we are living in a state of very little grounding.  While parenthood is challenging, it is the most amazing expereince that brings you the most gratification as you witness your growth and development and the growth and develpment of your child.

As a parent, I must embrace the gift of parenthood and the responsibilities of this role in my child’s life.  It is a life long journey in which there will be opportunities for me to build a loving and respectful relationship with my child.  Everyday is a day which presents new challenges and new growth.  I invite you to share in my experiences as a parent and as an educator of young children.

The Poem- ” I Realize”, that is the foundation of my philosophy of Parenting-

I realize I’ve been given the gift to be your parent and as your parent I realize this is a life time commitment.

I realize this means I have the responsibility to be your lifetime earthly ‘Spirit Guide”.

I realize you are a gift given to me great intention and you and I are connected by design.

I realize you are expecting me to take my responsibility seriously and understand I cannot be your friend and “Spirit Guide” at the same time.

I realize you are expecting me to love you, guide you, support you, and discipline you, with consistency and continuity.

I realize I must follow through with what I proclaim to be truth, justice, integrity and genuine love for you, so you will ultimately develop your own sense a conscious and values.

I realize I must be very intentional in spending time with you, praying with you, playing with you, laughing with you, crying with you, listening to you, and problem solving with you.

I realize I have a responsibility to provide for you- to make sure you have all the resources and experiences you need to be a whole, healthy, happy and confident human being.

I realize you are not me and I am not you and as your “Spirit Guide” I have a responsibility to observe you and discover who you are and what “Great Spirit” has ordained you to contribute to society so I can support you on your journey to “Greatness”.

I realize you came here knowing who you are and what you must do and if I honor and respect you and if I demand that others do the same, you will blossom into your full expression of beauty and this world will be a better place because of you.

I realize I have a responsibility to be all I can be so you will know I expect you to do the same.

I realize our love for each other will last beyond this life time and the next and what we build with each other today will last forever.

I realize you are my gift and I am yours.

Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads- Ingredient #7

Children are the greatest gift to humanity.

Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads- Ingredient #7

What does it take and whom must you be to serve children as their teacher?

You must be patient.

They say, whoever they are, that patience is a virtue.  I know as a teacher and a mother, that being patient is a necessary element that we must develop in our character.  I confess that it is an everyday skill set that we as in our human nature, struggle to be consistent with on a daily basis and from one situation to the next.  I believe that in terms of the character assets that we need to approach the world with, patience is one of those acquired assets that can make life more doable and enjoyable.  Patience sets the tone of how the world will respond to us.  It can be quite a challenge to be patient with adults because our expectations for their behavior and attitude is that because they have life experiences under their belt and an archive of lessons from which they should have learned and evolved, that adults would operate from a space of wisdom and integrity. 

However, when it comes to children we have a responsibility as the adults in their life, to be mature and far more understanding and patient as we lead them, guide them, and nurture them through their childhood experiences.  They are truthfully and righteously are supposed to be able to depend on us to be compassionately patient.  What does this energetic response of patience need to sustain itself?  Well first, it calls for us to be patient and understanding of who we are as a human being coming from our own life experiences and come to a realization that we are not perfect, we are called to, as is everyone , knowingly or not, called to practice the art of perfecting ourselves in our own unique divine identity, and that this art of perfecting the evolution of our soul expression is what life is all about. 

We must see each other, especially children, in that light so that they are free of judgment and other people’s expectations.  Can you imagine what the world would be like, and even better, what a child’s childhood would be like if they were surround by, and showered with patience, which in the core of patience love is the foundational element?  Can you imagine how much children would learn in their school environments and in their home environments if they knew their caregivers nurtured them with patience?  How do you feel when someone has treated you with “compassionate patience”? I know from my life experiences that not only does it instill more patience for me to share with others, but it inspires me to take flight and soar.  It makes me feel like I am valued and that I have unlimited potential.  I believe that this is what we want for our children.  Think about it?

Xhosa#6 Iingcebiso ezincinci zoomama nootata- Isithako #6. Kuthatha ntoni yaye umele ube ngubani ukuze ukhonze abantwana njengomfundisi wabo?

Abantwana lelona sipho sikhulu kuluntu.
Kuthatha ntoni yaye umele ube ngubani ukuze ukhonze abantwana njengomfundisi wabo?

Isithako:

Kufuneka ucace- oku kukuphila ubomi obonwabisayo, obupheleleyo, obusempilweni emzimbeni nangokweemvakalelo.

Andikwazi ukuqalisa ukukuxelela indlela ekubaluleke ngayo ukuba sempilweni emzimbeni, ngokweemvakalelo nangokomoya.  Enye yezinto zokuqala endizixelela ootitshala bam abafundi kwikhosi yabo yokuqala yoPhuhliso lwaBantwana kukuba kufuneka benze uphando malunga nokuba baphi kule mimandla emi-3 yobomi babo, ngaphambi kokuba bazibophelele ekubeni ngutitshala.  Ayisiyiyo ixesha elinye lokuhlola!  Sisithethe esiqhubekayo ekufuneka senjenjalo thina njengootitshala nabazali ukuze sibe nolwalamano lothando nolusebenzayo nabantwana esikhonzayo okanye abakhulisa abantwana.  Ukuba sinetyala kubo nakuthi ukuphila ubomi obuhambelana nobomi bethu obuhle kunye nokubonakaliswa okuphezulu kwe-“Divine Identity” yethu ekhethekileyo.

Xa siphumile kwiintlobo kwaye singaziva kakuhle, luxanduva lwethu njengootitshala ukuthatha usuku lwempilo yengqondo kwaye siphinde sijolise iimvakalelo zethu kunye nentlalo-ntle yokomoya ukuze siphinde singene kwimeko-bume kwimbonakaliso enempilo ezinzileyo ngakumbi.  Ndandisazi ukuba ndineentsuku ezili-10 zokugula ngokupheleleyo ngonyaka kwaye ndazibophelela ekuthatheni usuku olunye ngenyanga rhoqo ngonyaka ukuze nje “Ndizinyamekele”.  Ndandinenjongo yokwenza into ekhethekileyo eyandinika ithuba nje “lokuphefumla”!  Ndandivuka ndihambahamba elunxwemeni okanye ndizikhuphe kwisidlo sakusasa.  Ngamanye amaxesha ndandihlala nje ebhedini kwaye ndibukele imiboniso engazange ithathe nayiphi na inkqubo yam yokucinga esebenzayo.  Sonke sifuna “Ixesha Ngaphakathi”!  Sonke kufuneka siqonde ukuba ukulungelelanisa nokulungelelanisa izinto eziphembelela ubukho bethu kufuneka kunyanyekelwe kwaye kukhuliswe. 

Le asiyonto ekufuneka siyicele imvume yokwenza okanye ekufuneka sicele uxolo ngayo, yinto efunekayo kuthi ukuze siphile ubomi obonwabisayo nobusempilweni.  Xa siza ebantwaneni, kufuneka siphelele, sibe sempilweni kwaye sonwabe.  Ngoku ngokubhekiselele kulonwabo, anditsho ukuba abantwana balindele ukuba sibe kwimeko esisigxina ye-static yokuba yonke imihla.  Kufuneka basibone njenge-selves yethu eyinyani ukuze bazi ukuba siya kunika isithuba sokuba bavakalise ngokupheleleyo ukuba ngoobani kwaye loo mbonakaliso “yesazisi sobuthixo” yabo iyahlonitshwa kwaye yamkelwe.  Into kukuba njengabantu abadala bekufanele ukuba sikhule ekukwazini kwethu ukuqaphela ukuba siphuma njani kubo, kwaye ngaloo ndlela yokuvakalelwa senza oko kufuneka sikwenze ukuze “Sizihlole”. 

Inzuzo kubantwana xa sikwazi ukuzilungelelanisa, kukuba ibenza bazive bekhuselekile, bekhuselekile, kwaye benyanyekelwa.  Enye into endiyabelana ngayo nootitshala bam abafundi kukuba kubaluleke ngokwenene ukuba bahlole kunye nomntwana wabo wangaphakathi, kuba oko kubamba “inyaniso yokuba ngoobani kwaye yintoni abakwaziyo” ukuba yiyo.  Esinjani sona isipho ukuba yinkonzo ebantwaneni kuba sifumana ukufumanisa ngakumbi nangakumbi ngathi yonke imihla esabelana nabo.

Nid yw hyn yn rhywbeth y mae’n rhaid i ni ofyn caniatâd i’w wneud neu orfod ymddiheuro amdano, mae’n rhywbeth sy’n ofynnol gennym er mwyn byw bywyd hapus ac iach.  Pan fyddwn yn dod at blant, mae angen i ni fod yn iach, yn iach ac yn hapus.  Nawr o ran hapus, nid wyf yn dweud bod plant yn disgwyl i ni fod mewn cyflwr sefydlog o fod bob dydd.  Mae angen iddyn nhw ein gweld ni fel ein hunain fel ein hunain fel eu bod nhw’n gwybod y byddwn ni’n darparu lle iddyn nhw fod mewn mynegiant llawn o bwy ydyn nhw a bod mynegiant o’u “Hunaniaeth Ddwyfol” yn cael ei barchu a’i dderbyn.  Y peth yw y dylem ni fel oedolion fod wedi tyfu yn ein gallu i fod yn ymwybodol o sut rydyn ni’n dod oddi wrthyn nhw, a gyda’r sensitifrwydd hwnnw rydyn ni’n gwneud yr hyn sy’n rhaid i ni ei wneud i “Wirio Ein Hun”. 

Y budd i blant pan allwn ni hunan-addasu, yw ei fod yn gwneud iddyn nhw deimlo’n ddiogel, yn ddiogel ac yn derbyn gofal.  Peth arall rwy’n ei rannu gyda fy athrawon dan hyfforddiant yw ei bod yn bwysig iawn iddyn nhw wirio gyda’u plentyn mewnol, oherwydd mae hynny’n dal y “gwir pwy ydyn nhw a’r hyn maen nhw’n gallu” bod.  Am rodd yw bod mewn gwasanaeth i blant oherwydd ein bod yn cael darganfod mwy a mwy amdanom ni ein hunain bob dydd rydyn ni’n rhannu gyda nhw.

Vietnamese #6 Lời khuyên nhỏ cho các ông bố bà mẹ- Thành phần # 6 Cần gì và bạn phải là ai để phục vụ trẻ em với tư cách là giáo viên của chúng?

Cần gì và bạn phải là ai để phục vụ trẻ em với tư cách là giáo viên của chúng

Thành phần:

Bạn phải rõ ràng – đây là sống một cuộc sống hạnh phúc, toàn vẹn, khỏe mạnh về thể chất và cảm xúc.

Tôi không thể bắt đầu nói với bạn tầm quan trọng của việc khỏe mạnh về thể chất, cảm xúc và tinh thần.  Một trong những điều đầu tiên tôi nói với các giáo viên học sinh của mình trong khóa học Phát triển Trẻ em đầu tiên của họ là họ phải thực hiện một cuộc khảo sát về vị trí của họ trong 3 lĩnh vực này của cuộc sống, trước khi họ cam kết trở thành một giáo viên.  Nó không phải là một lần đăng ký!  Đó là một nghi thức liên tục mà chúng ta với tư cách là giáo viên và cha mẹ phải làm để có một mối quan hệ yêu thương và chức năng với những đứa trẻ mà chúng ta đang phục vụ hoặc nuôi dạy con cái.  Nếu chúng ta nợ họ và bản thân chúng ta để sống một cuộc sống phù hợp với cuộc sống tốt nhất của chúng ta và sự thể hiện cao nhất của “Bản sắc thiêng liêng” độc đáo của chúng ta.

Khi chúng ta không ổn định và cảm thấy không khỏe, trách nhiệm của chúng ta với tư cách là giáo viên là dành một ngày sức khỏe tinh thần và tập trung lại cảm xúc và hạnh phúc tinh thần của chúng ta để chúng ta có thể tái hòa nhập vào môi trường trong một biểu hiện lành mạnh hơn và ổn định hơn của bản thân.  Tôi biết mình có 10 ngày ốm trọn vẹn mỗi năm và tôi cam kết dành một ngày mỗi tháng mỗi năm để chỉ “chăm sóc bản thân”.  Tôi đã có ý định làm điều gì đó đặc biệt cho tôi cơ hội để “thở”!  Tôi sẽ thức dậy và đi dạo trên bãi biển hoặc đưa mình ra ngoài ăn sáng.  Đôi khi tôi chỉ nằm trên giường và xem các chương trình mà không cần bất kỳ quá trình suy nghĩ nào của tôi được kích hoạt.  Tất cả chúng ta đều cần một “Thời gian”!  Tất cả chúng ta cần nhận ra rằng việc cân bằng và sắp xếp các yếu tố thúc đẩy sự tồn tại của chúng ta phải được chăm sóc và nuôi dưỡng. 

Đây không phải là điều chúng ta phải xin phép để làm hoặc phải xin lỗi, nó là điều cần thiết ở chúng ta để sống một cuộc sống hạnh phúc và khỏe mạnh.  Khi chúng ta đến với con cái, chúng ta cần phải toàn vẹn, khỏe mạnh và hạnh phúc.  Bây giờ về mặt hạnh phúc, tôi không nói rằng trẻ em mong đợi chúng ta ở trong một trạng thái tĩnh lặng cố định mỗi ngày.  Họ cần xem chúng ta là con người đích thực của chúng ta để họ biết rằng chúng ta sẽ cung cấp một không gian để họ thể hiện đầy đủ họ là ai và sự thể hiện “Bản sắc thiêng liêng” của họ được tôn trọng và chấp nhận.  Vấn đề là khi trưởng thành, chúng ta nên phát triển khả năng nhận thức được cách chúng ta đến với họ, và với sự nhạy cảm đó, chúng ta làm những gì chúng ta phải làm để “Kiểm tra bản thân”. 

Lợi ích cho trẻ em khi chúng ta có thể tự điều chỉnh là nó làm cho chúng cảm thấy an toàn, an toàn và được chăm sóc.  Một điều khác mà tôi chia sẻ với các giáo viên sinh viên của mình là điều thực sự quan trọng đối với họ là kiểm tra đứa trẻ bên trong của họ, bởi vì điều đó chứa đựng “sự thật về họ là ai và họ có khả năng gì”.  Thật là một món quà để phục vụ trẻ em vì chúng ta ngày càng khám phá nhiều hơn về bản thân mỗi ngày chúng ta chia sẻ với chúng.

بچوں کو ان کے استاد کے طور پر خدمت کرنے کے لئے کیا اور آپ کو کس کی ضرورت ہے؟

بچے انسانیت کے لیے سب سے بڑا تحفہ ہیں۔
بچوں کو ان کے استاد کے طور پر خدمت کرنے کے لئے کیا اور آپ کو کس کی ضرورت ہے؟

اجزاء:

آپ کو واضح ہونا چاہئے – یہ ایک خوش، مکمل، جسمانی اور جذباتی طور پر صحت مند زندگی گزار رہا ہے.

میں آپ کو بتانا شروع نہیں کر سکتا کہ جسمانی، جذباتی اور روحانی طور پر صحت مند ہونا کتنا ضروری ہے.  میں اپنے پہلے چائلڈ ڈیولپمنٹ کورس میں اپنے طالب علم اساتذہ کو جو پہلی بات بتاتا ہوں وہ یہ ہے کہ ٹیچر بننے کا عہد کرنے سے پہلے انہیں اپنی زندگی کے ان تین شعبوں میں کہاں ہیں اس بارے میں ایک سروے ضرور کرنا چاہیے۔  یہ ایک بار چیک ان نہیں ہے!  یہ ایک مسلسل رسم ہے جو ہم دونوں اساتذہ اور والدین کی حیثیت سے ان بچوں کے ساتھ محبت اور عملی تعلق قائم کرنے کے لئے کرتے ہیں جن کی ہم خدمت کر رہے ہیں یا پرورش کر رہے ہیں.  اگر ہم ان کے اور اپنے آپ کو ایک ایسی زندگی گزارنے کے ذمہ دار ہیں جو ہماری بہترین زندگی اور ہماری منفرد “خدائی شناخت” کے اعلی ترین اظہار کے مطابق ہو۔

جب ہم ایک طرح سے باہر ہوتے ہیں اور اچھا محسوس نہیں کرتے ہیں تو اساتذہ کی حیثیت سے یہ ہماری ذمہ داری ہے کہ ہم ذہنی صحت کا دن لیں اور اپنے جذبات اور روحانی فلاح و بہبود کو دوبارہ مرکوز کریں تاکہ ہم اپنے آپ کے صحت مند اور مستحکم اظہار میں ماحول میں دوبارہ داخل ہوسکیں۔  میں جانتا تھا کہ میرے پاس سال میں پورے 10 بیمار دن ہوتے ہیں اور میں نے اپنے آپ کو ہر سال مہینے میں ایک دن صرف “اپنے آپ کی دیکھ بھال” کرنے کا عہد کیا۔  میں جان بوجھ کر کچھ خاص کرنے کے بارے میں تھا جس نے مجھے صرف “سانس لینے” کا موقع دیا!  میں اٹھ کر ساحل سمندر پر چہل قدمی کرتا یا خود کو ناشتے کے لیے باہر لے جاتا۔  کبھی کبھی میں صرف بستر پر رہتا تھا اور ایسے شوز دیکھتا تھا جو میرے کسی بھی سوچنے کے عمل کو فعال نہیں کرتے تھے۔  ہم سب کو ایک “ٹائم ان” کی ضرورت ہے!  ہم سب کو یہ سمجھنے کی ضرورت ہے کہ ہمارے وجود کو آگے بڑھانے والے عناصر کو متوازن کرنے اور ترتیب دینے کی دیکھ بھال اور پرورش کی جانی چاہئے۔ 

یہ کوئی ایسی چیز نہیں ہے جس کے لئے ہمیں اجازت مانگنی پڑے یا معافی مانگنی پڑے، یہ ایک ایسی چیز ہے جو ایک خوش حال اور صحت مند زندگی گزارنے کے لئے ہم سے ضروری ہے.  جب ہم بچوں کے پاس آتے ہیں، تو ہمیں مکمل، صحت مند اور خوش رہنے کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے.  اب خوشی کے معاملے میں، میں یہ نہیں کہہ رہا ہوں کہ بچے ہم سے ہر روز ایک طے شدہ جامد حالت میں رہنے کی توقع رکھتے ہیں.  انہیں ہمیں اپنی حقیقی ذات کے طور پر دیکھنے کی ضرورت ہے تاکہ وہ جان سکیں کہ ہم ان کے لئے ایک جگہ فراہم کریں گے کہ وہ کون ہیں اور ان کی “خدائی شناخت” کے اظہار کا احترام اور قبول کیا جاتا ہے.  بات یہ ہے کہ بالغ ہونے کے ناطے ہمیں اس بات سے آگاہ ہونے کی صلاحیت میں اضافہ ہونا چاہئے تھا کہ ہم ان کے ساتھ کیسے آ رہے ہیں ، اور اس حساسیت کے ساتھ ہم وہ کرتے ہیں جو ہمیں “خود کو چیک کرنے” کے لئے کرنا ہے۔ 

بچوں کے لئے فائدہ جب ہم خود کو ایڈجسٹ کرسکتے ہیں ، تو یہ انہیں محفوظ ، محفوظ اور دیکھ بھال کا احساس دلاتا ہے۔  ایک اور بات جو میں اپنے طالب علم اساتذہ کے ساتھ شیئر کرتا ہوں وہ یہ ہے کہ ان کے لئے اپنے اندرونی بچے کے ساتھ چیک ان کرنا واقعی ضروری ہے ، کیونکہ اس میں “یہ سچ ہے کہ وہ کون ہیں اور وہ کیا ہونے کی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں”۔  بچوں کی خدمت کرنا کیسا تحفہ ہے کیونکہ ہمیں ہر روز اپنے بارے میں زیادہ سے زیادہ دریافت کرنے کا موقع ملتا ہے۔
