Welcome:The moment your child is born, they start school. That school is called 'Life' and you are their teacher.
There is an amazing amount of learning that takes place in the
‘Fabulous First 5’ years of life, so if you thought you'd just wait and let the teachers at school educate your children ...
it could be time to think again! They are already watching you very closely and learning lots!To use a technical metaphor; kids are like little computers (but so much smarter!). They install and file away information as it is fed to them.
Although it may not always be obvious, everything they hear, see and think is installed on their hard-drive (subconscious mind) and there it stays to be accessed later. The more they think, feel and act a certain way, the more those ‘ways of being’ become habitual and old habits certainly do ‘die hard’.
For children to thrive, it's important for them to feel confident and loved. It also helps if they can release worries, which gives them the ‘head-space‘ to consider other possibilities and solutions.
Hanging onto worries only tends to makes them worse.Worries can become ‘heavy on your mind’ and may:
- lower personal energy levels
- deplete the immune system
- close people off from considering new possibilities
- lead to the use of food, alcohol and drugs as ‘crutches’.
Norman Vincent Peale said: “Believe that problems do have answers, that they can be overcome, and that we can solve them.”
