Hi Parents... I'd like to say a few things about parenting in the present moment. We as Americans are very future oriented. It's hard for us to think and live in the present. However, the present is all we really have. I recently talked to a mom who has a child with a terminal illness. This mom said she doesn't have the luxury of a future with her child so she will make every moment she has count. She said living in the present and not worrying about the future is her peace during this hard time. Most of us are so fortunate to be able to imagine our children in the future and we try to make it the very best life we can for them. What do you think YOUR family life would be like if you parent in the present moment? Can you let go of tomorrow and see the successes in your children right now? Try it, you will be giving yourself and your family a wonderful gift and hopefully it will become a way of life!
Happy Parenting
