Parent The Child Before You, Not The Child You Fantasized Having

Are you able to love another even if they do not fulfill your fantasies and expectations?

This is the ultimate question that parents are confronted by on the parenting journey. Our children do not have to win our love by reaching the expectations we have set out for them. They should be loved for the person they truly are, not the person we want them to be. Our children are not our property, and they were not born to fill our inner cup.

Letting go of these fantasies is one of the biggest challenges parents face, but it is essential for conscious parenting.

Comment CONSCIOUS if you have learned, or are in the process of learning, to let go of your fantasy?
