The Childrens Thread ~

[zensunni7]

Dear All,

I thought it would be good, fun , and informative to start a thread dedicated to the health and well being of Children and parents. Perhaps discover and explore new ideas to parenting in a New World.
I know when I was a young parent I would have relished a site such as this to come, talk and ask questions. I know there are many parents  here, teens and young minds on their way to becoming parents.
It is a new world and its supports us to have a place to talk as if it is already our reality. Not hashing over the way to it.

I hope we all feel free to question.

I would most certainly benefit from this discussion thread, every day I have questions on raising my boys.  I feel truly blessed to have them in my life and see them as little individuals entrusted in my care to learn about life and the world around them and with this comes an overwhelming responsibility and feelings of 'not wanting to get it wrong'.

Here are some questions I have recently asked myself:

(1) Vegetarianism - been a vegetarian I would like my children to be also, however, I do think it is important for them to make up there own mind on this and come to their own decision on whether it is the right thing for them to do personally.  Because of this my children still eat meat, but what do I do when they ask me why i don't eat meat??  If I am honest and say that I don't think I is right to kill animals for my benefit when not necessary surly they will not want to meat also but this is more because ' if mummy doesn't like it and think then it is wrong then it must be' rather than them making up their own mind.  On the other hand however if they say they don't want to eat it and I make them have it am i not been a hypocrite?  (considering my eldest is only 3).

(2) When max wakes up in the morning I always make a point of asking him if he had any dreams during the night, I also encourage him to talk to people in his mind and tell him if he concentrated that they may be able to hear him, is this the right thing to do? what other things can I do with my children to make them more aware?

(3) Death - My grandfather at age 89 is very close to passing onto the next world and my husband and I have agreed that we should let the children (3 and 1.5) go to the funeral as death is afterall part of life and we don't really want to 'hide' things from them, what is everyones view on this.

I'm sure over time i will have lots of questions to post onto this thread.

Thanks Darrel for starting this.

Hello Tessa,

It has been awhile, so good to hear you.

Ah - boys, I was blessed with four of them. Adrian should be a big help here also with his sons.

When mine were little I fed them pretty much as other kids ate. His mother and I were very conscious of chemicals and preservatives in their foods, as we cooked as organically as possible then as well. I NEVER used ' baby foods ' other than the fruits.
As baby's we use to grind up what we were having and they ate that. We also use to put it in ice cube trays and freeze it for baby food. I was not a vegetarian as I ate fish also. But they ate hamburgers and such growing up, and as they reached ages when they started taking responsibility for their own health, they experimented and made choices as we do also.
I also used many natural herbs in their food preparation and it made an vast difference in their overall health. They were rarely sick with the usual childhood malady's, colds and flu type.
Your children are rather young to explain the idea of health care to, they just tread after your examples for now. But as my grew older they understood how certain foods such as sugar can taste really good, but make them really crabby a little later, and children do not like to feel badly. They will ' get it ' as they grow more.
I told them about hamburger being a cow, but to be honest at that age, they just didn't get the correlation and they grew up where cows were seen all the time.

Trust yourself enough to stay the course of your own beliefs, and answer the questions to them honestly, they will trust you and then themselves. I only eat one formal meal a day, at dinner and they grew up seeing this. I made them eat breakfast and lunch, and just explained to them, they were growing and I was grown, they had different needs than I did.
I educated them to eat because they were hungry, not bored or because it was " Time " to eat. In the mornings I would cut up fruits and some vegetables, and make then quarter sandwiches and kept them on one shelf in the refrigerator, that was their shelf and they could eat whatever was on it without having to ask. I also made Popsicle from fruit juice and they could have those anytime too. They liked the freedom of not having to ask for everything.
 What I think helped most is allowing them in the kitchen and to help me prepare foods, it is where most of the questions came up and the discussion got really educational. It was easier to incorporate them into what I was doing than try to keep them pacified while I was doing it.
Most parents say they want independent kids, but have an underlying agenda of being needed by them, but kids that can cook and prepare their own food are usually more independent and healthier too. Now as a grandfather I have memories most men will never have with their kids too.

I think being focused on overall health is more important than whether they are eating according to a prescribed ideal of foods. If they are not eating junk food everyday, and fast foods, they will be fine and able to make healthy choices, as you did. My sons are all grown and all work out, and as they mature so do their eating habits and choices. They are all ripped and muscular - healthy. Yours will be too.

Dreams ? I found that sharing my own would get them talking to me about theirs. Again while doing other activities - I would just relate a dream I had, and they would feel comfortable sharing theirs. I didn't discuss inner dialogues with them unless they made me aware they were dealing with the same thing, not all kids do.
I took my cues from them about their inner life, and seized the moment when it came. I let them know me, my spiritual desires and practices and worked out with Yoga and meditation in their view. They listen to what we do before what we say.

Funerals - I chose not to take mine to them. So I may not be the one to relate here.
They understood death - dogs, cats, pets, and relatives. I talked honestly, but funerals I thought were -emotionally overwhelming to them as they are to some adults, and I personally do not need to see the body to accept a death, nor believe the person is there, and I told them that too. I told them if they wanted to say good bye, to lay down and remember the times they shared and tell them goodbye that way.
There is no right and wrong to a loving parent as you seem to be. The fact that you ask so many internal questions is validation of a loving parent. Trust your intuition and heart, trust your love of them and they for you. I didn't concern myself with ' raising ' them as much as just giving them love and a safe place to grow.

Dear Tessa,

I would most certainly benefit from this discussion thread, every day I have questions on raising my boys.  I feel truly blessed to have them in my life and see them as little individuals entrusted in my care to learn about life and the world around them and with this comes an overwhelming responsibility and feelings of 'not wanting to get it wrong'.

I feel the same about my three sons, and it is wonderful that you feel like this.

(1) Vegetarianism - been a vegetarian I would like my children to be also, however, I do think it is important for them to make up there own mind on this and come to their own decision on whether it is the right thing for them to do personally.  Because of this my children still eat meat, but what do I do when they ask me why i don't eat meat??  If I am honest and say that I don't think I is right to kill animals for my benefit when not necessary surly they will not want to meat also but this is more because ' if mummy doesn't like it and think then it is wrong then it must be' rather than them making up their own mind.  On the other hand however if they say they don't want to eat it and I make them have it am i not been a hypocrite?  (considering my eldest is only 3).

We must never inflict our own view on our children, but instead guide and educate them, with due regard for age.

Actually the only reason a child become a carnivore is because they are raised to eat meat from a very early age. Children are not born as carnivores - it is learned from parents.

I know many vegetarian and vegan parents who have raised very health vegetarian and vegan children who remain so - the thought of eating meat is repulsive to them. We must of course ensure that they still receive a balanced diet with all nutrients they need for a developing body.

The difficulties start to arise at school age where school lunches are not designed for plant eaters, and children feel "different" if they have a "special" lunch. This is where parental guidance is really tested, as well as the resilience of the child. The best solution, if the school allows it, is a packed lunch, which is not questioned by child or peers.

For older children and adults I cannot recommend this book highly enough:

http://www.ourultimatereality.com/recommended.html

This book has been responsible for more voluntary changes to vegetarian and vegan diets than all other put together - the evidence is beyond dispute. The book only covers nutritional reasons  - the parents can supplement this with the Spiritual and ethical reasons.

(2) When max wakes up in the morning I always make a point of asking him if he had any dreams during the night, I also encourage him to talk to people in his mind and tell him if he concentrated that they may be able to hear him, is this the right thing to do? what other things can I do with my children to make them more aware?

Encourage them to use their imagination. This is suppressed in most children. Also encourage them to discuss all their experiences. Children to the age of 5 or even 7 are psychic and clairvoyant as well as experiencing Astral Projection.  These are suppressed in most children after indoctrination in to the "real world". Their world is more real than the physical world. Dreams are an excellent way of doing this, but also when children play with "imaginary friends" they are not "imaginary" at all much of the time - they are real Astral Beings which theor expanded consciousness enables them to perceive as every bit as solid and "real" as anything in the physical world if not more so.

(3) Death - My grandfather at age 89 is very close to passing onto the next world and my husband and I have agreed that we should let the children (3 and 1.5) go to the funeral as death is afterall part of life and we don't really want to 'hide' things from them, what is everyones view on this.

Excellent - and the right thing to do. it is so important that children do not fear the change known as "death". If I had my way every "funeral" would be a massive celebration of life and not farewell, but "until we meet again". How you explain this is a matter for you, based upon your children's level of understanding, but you could say for example that their granfather is "tired after a long life", and has gone to rest in a wonderful place, and that one day they will see him again.

Keep in Mind however that many "deceased" people attend their own funerals for "closure" and that if a child is 7 or under they may well "see" him - so you wil need an answer to that one

Your are doing a wonderful job of raising your children.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.
 

[tessa]

thank you both so much for your words of wisdom and encouragement I am so lucky to have this support

[Adrian]

Dear Tessa,

It really is my pleasure. It is a joy to see someone who, as you do, fully recognises the Magic and potential of children.

I do not donate much in financial terms, preferring to give of my time and experience, but the exceptions I make are to charities dedicated to children, animals and conservation - all of which are the victims of adult humans, whether knowingly or otherwise.

Children are so crucially important to humanity.

Every new born child has the potential to be a powerful, Unconditionally Loving, giving human being. But usually they are corrupted by well-meaning parents from birth and through toys that are designed to "teach" children the "ways of the world".

As I mentioned before in the context of my own connection with Source - everyone has that potential, but it becomes lost to most as they progress through childhood, and becomes almost completely buried as adults becoming involved in the dramas of the material world.

Here though is the greatest truth - if every child, at the earliest possible age could be taught how to consciously connect with Source, and the inner realms of reality, school would be superfluous, because they would have instant access to all the knowledge in the Universe in all spheres of life and reality, and they would use it wisely. Regaining that connection later in life is much more difficult.

Children are very special and wonderful but most parents do not see it - that is why it is why it is wonderful to meet all those here who do.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Good Morning Darrell, Tessa and Adrian and All~ 

I am truly enjoying this thread. Namaste Darrell. Wow! You brought up alot of wonderful memories of making homemade baby food, the ice trays, the juicecicles, the eye level shelfs to allow independence. I love it!! The including them in the assisting while in the 'doing' of things. Children love to 'help' to serve. It is their very nature, see the glowing look in of satisfaction in their eyes and their faces not to mention the amazing energy expressing outward (body language) when they 'do' it themselves? Priceless. And they have no 'qualms' in pointing this out. Beautiful and inspiring.

I have noticed that children are so creative because they actually use very few 'words' or communicate in simple terms (not unintelligent at all). I have a quirky sense of humor about these things. We do not always understand what children are 'saying' but I will say they understand exactly what we are saying by our Energy radiating into the experience we are believing we are having.

They don't need words. It's all about the experience they are creating by desire. They create because while they may not 'speak' our language yet, they feel everything and bring it towards themselves.  I have spent much 'time' observing and being reminded by them on how to remain (Open)empty hearted, empty (Open) minded and empty (open) Spirited. No thing as in nothing to prove. No expectations of anything but their own 'good' or Godness being.

Tessa, laugh with me here, would you consider the possibility that you are being Divinely led by your Higher Self by holding hands with your children?  It's wonderful what you are experiencing with your sons. Darrell and Adrian have shared wonderful wisdom here. In the 'questions' that pop up it is to ask one what is one's reason for doing these things. What do you Believe? And then comes the infamous question of all ages since the beginning of 'time'.


Why? Why do you do this? Why is this like this? Who made this? And on and on it goes...


Great questions, keeps one aware of what they are doing and why. Children relate to 'feelings'. I love vegetables because they make my heart feel happy. I feel ticklely inside when I eat them. You know kid stuff. They can relate to that. They are their Authentic Selves in the early years.


Children are excellent examples of Confidence in One's worthiness. Children example this well before any preconceived conditioning of any kind. They mirror our Inner child. Still consciously connected to Source.

How do I know this? Have you ever seen a child being born with luggage? Just me thinking out loud here.

Thank you All for sharing your wonderful Selves and experiences here truly.

InJoy this day, Love In Divine Spirit,


Julia

Good day Tessa and Adrian,

SEE~ I told you Adrian would add wisdom and insight here !!!

Adrian and I were very lucky men in life I feel, we had the courage to step out of the mold of men and be with our children daily. I will hold this time in my life as the most Sacred.
Children, parenthood, this is truly Sacred ground. The energy of children is God alive more than any I have experienced. It was where I learned more than an entire library could have taught me. I grew to be truly alive in those days when they were so little.
I pity those that take it for granted and take little time for their children. Rather like being very poor and ignoring the pile of money on the table.


My kids taught me to ' lighten up Dad ' and to stop and smell the roses. The house can be cleaned later - the grass cut later that day - demands fell to a long walk into the woods, and turning over hundreds of rocks along the creek looking for life, discovering fossil pictures in the stones.
Walking in the water just to feel it run over your feet. I was a wealthy man and never took this wealth for granted, not one day. I wanted it all to be the ' life that passed before me as I breathed my last breath.

Adrian was correct, do not impose our beliefs on them, let them see what your saying in the motion of your day. You are doing a great job Tessa, because you know it is not ' work ' but Love in motion.
Ask any parent if they love their children, they will retort yes without thinking, as I did also, but I also ' liked ' my children. I liked being with them, and seeing what routine breakers they would create today, what questions we could explore together.
They made me a better Human Being.

I rethought my attitude about death and funerals after reading Adrian's views. Nope- still wouldn't take them. But as Adrian pointed out, if they were celebrations of the persons life, and the idea they are not dead, ever, was the dominant energy, then yes I would. I told my kids Human Beings never die, they just move on.
Just as our children will move onto their own lives.

I don't think they learn about their world so much as look around to see whats changed since they were away. What new, what has been created, invented and discovered.
I learned early on that they KNOW what I am feeling truly, so there was no point in trying to disguise it for their sakes. As I told them, why lie to me, I know when you are. Honesty with them was letting them see me.

WithIn Love

Good Morning,

It is almost three years ago that my Beloved Namesake Friend and Sister passed due to a 'small' mis take during her surgery. She was 'connected in Spirit' to my granddaughter as well as myself. I was blessed to have lunch with her 9 days before and also to speak with her the day before she went in to have surgery. I knew she wasn't 'coming back' (it was unspoken but known) and I asked for wisdom in preparation to share with Kiara.

It was my granddaughter Kiara who broached me about the subject of 'death' between the ages of 3 and 4. Her view of 'death' being from the experience of goldfish in our pond and our beloved cat Simon being no longer present in the picture.

She climbed into my lap and she said to me, "Amma, I know when you die you will always be with me. You don't really die. Here, in my heart I will always carry you wherever I go. You are always with me."

Kiara is known by adults who meet her as a deeply perceptive child and an 'old soul'.

This was definitely one of those pause moments.

When the call came from Julia's husband I waited for the 'right moment' to present itself to speak to Kiara. I intended to go to the funeral to honor her wishes to stay connected to her sister by being there for her who is also a Beloved friend and sister of mine. She was requesting my presence. Kiara was invited as well so I felt it should be her decision and I asked her if she wanted to go and experience how people view these events.

Kiara decided herself to go. She went and viewed the body and later that evening before bed she wanted to 'talk' about the experience. She said, "Amma, I felt sad that I won't see Julia here anymore but I feel her in my heart. I looked at her body and it wasn't Julia. I know she is happy."

Kiara was seven by then. I agreed with her and that is all she really 'needed' to know.

The first time this came up, I asked her what she thought about it and listened. You learn alot I'll say!

When we have done all that we are here to do, there's more. There's always more. We just have to 'change what we are wearing.

Thank you for listening,

Love to All in Divine Spirit,

Julia

[tessa]

After reading all of your comments and discussing them with my husband we are considering to take the kids (1.5 and 3) to the wake but not the funeralwill not go to the funeral therefore, they will not feel apart from what is going on and the atmosphere will hopefully be more upbeat and more of a celebration rather than sad.  Also I'm sure that,as children do, they will uplift the atmosphere and cheer everyone up too.

The food discussion really is an interesting one, Darrell I love your idea of the shelf in the fridge, I will maybe try this when the boys are older if i did that now however I think that all of the food would be gone by 9am as my boys love their food and have a 'healthy appetite' shall we say!!  I dint allow any convenience or fast foods and try as much as possible for everything to be organic and freshly prepared.  My worst nightmare was to have a fussy eater or a child that didn't eat but I'm afraid that in my efforts to avoid this I have children who love their food, as they eat healthily I am not too worried about this but do worry about the whole overindulgence thing wheather healthy or not!!


Max my Eldest is a real imaginative character and imaginary play is is favourite form of play, he has recently started talking about an imaginary friend called Freddie however as Freddie fits in the palm of his hand and drives a motorbike along side our car whenever we go anywhere i don't think that it is an astral being although you never know!

I did have one experience where I went to bed asking if there was anyone watching over my children, that week Max told me that there was a lady in his room, that she was a friendly lady not scary and that she sometimes sat on the end of his bed.  i told my mum this and she responded with ' i know who that is, when he was ill in hospital I asked my grandmother to look after him' that was it my question answered and Max never spoke of her again. 

I also enquired to see if he could see auras and asked him if he could see any colours surrounding people, he responded with 'no don't be silly mummy' and laughed making mummy feel a bit silly 

I do feel like I learn as much from my children as they do from me and that we are here to help each other as I agree that my children have made me a much better Human Being

[tessa]

after writing my previous post last night I spoke to my son whilst giving him a bath, i asked him if had seen the lady again in his room and his response was remarkable.  He said ' no mummy I haven't, and I haven't seen the scary lady again either' i asked who the scary lady was and he said 'she comes to my room and cries she is very sad' i asked why she was sad and he said 'because she wants to be in her house' when I asked why she scares him he said ' she has something wrong with her teeth (he kept touching his teeth) and she is very noisy, she stomps around in my room, shes not coming back though, shes gone now'.  After he said this I remembered how my husband and I used to hear banging in his room on the monitor and sometimes on the ceiling, we would go up to the room but nothing was there, we thought it was strange but that was it really and we haven't heard that for a long time. He asked me if she she comes into my room at night and if she can see me as 'she can see me mummy' he said.

I asked him if he sees Freddie more at night or during the day, he said ' i see him at night in my mind, I go to his house and see all of his friends' I then asked him if he sees Freddie whenever he wants to or just when Freddie wants and he responded 'I only see Freddie when he wants me to see him, he isn't hear now but I may see him later'

I guess it is hard to know if what he said was truth or imagination but I was amazed that It came from a little boy who is not yet 3yrs old.

What are your thoughts?

Trust me - both the "scary lady" and "Freddie" are very, very real.

It is extremely common for people, especially after a sudden "death" to become stuck close to the Earth plane for various reasons - usually due to a strong attachment to something or someone they were close to. These are the people we call "ghosts". I know of, an have experienced countless cases, which is one reason I wrote a chapter in my book out them.

Be sure though, and tell your son that they cannot cause any harm. They are people the same as anyone else.

Your son is seeing Freddie clairvoyantly - all children are clairvoyant at that age as are cats and other animals. Their Brow Chakra is much more open.

A 3 year old cannot rationalise the preferences of a character like this - he is speaking from experience.

Most parents either do not take an interest, or worse, tell their child to "quit imagining things".

Your sons are blessed to have you as their mother, and will be grateful as they grow. You also have a wonderful opportunity to have these discussions with your younger son as he grows.

I would make a habit, once per day when the opportunity arises, but not at bed time, to discuss these experiences with your son, in a way that shows you are taking a loving interest and not questioning him - any doubt in his Mind will terminate these experiences as they do for most adults.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Good Morning One and All

I can see this is going to be a wonderful thread of sharing and knowledge.

I think your choice regarding the funeral was wise. Your son seems very attuned to beings in his environment and I agree that children's energy's can raise vibration wherever they are at.
I always took my children's stories of seeing beings seriously,so they felt respected even at young ages. They are more attuned to this vibration than most adults are so there is good reason to believe them. My grand daughter has a friend ' Kadis ' she has played with since she was very young, she even calls him on her phone.
I still ' send ' Angels to surround and protect my family. I do not view them as I did as a child, but it is still valid to ask this and expect it to be done for us.
Mine taught me to be more open as I was as a child again.
There is always beauty somewhere in our immediate area of life, and they see it and feel it. Wise little creatures they are.

I think kids can transform anything they eat into higher energy. Children learn early on that certain illness and conditions keep attention focused on them. Many adults still use this method of attention getting to dangerous result. But children that are loved, cared about and liked make even better choices for themselves, even at a young age and don't fall into the traps of needing to be something they are not for their parents attentions.

I must press off to work here, so I wish all here a great day and a loving one.
This thread gives me hope for our kids, confidence we are becoming a race that sees them for the wonders they are. I believe most parents are loving caring ones doing a great job at  this highest of honors in the Human arena of life. They just don't make the news.
But here you are honored and respected.

WithIn Love

Darrell

[Adrian]

Dear Darryl,

Thank you very much for your observations which I completely agree with.

Children are part of our lives, but this thread has caused me to consider more deeply the latent potential of children that simply is not being realised.

A child, to the age of 7 or so has all the abilities that adults often crave and more. This is because they are still highly connected with Source, their Higher Self and inner realms, and have no limiting beliefs. If an adult could be as a child, then that adult would be extremely powerful and even be considered to be some sort of Master or demigod.

This is why, for example at "spoon bending parties", adults bend spoons while their children tie knots in iron bars. The main difference is that the adult is restricted by limiting beliefs and the child is not - they never even consider for a moment that they cannot do this and think it is great fun.

Clairvoyance to a child is as natural as eating or breathing - it is adults that destroy the belief a child has in him or herself by inflicting upon the child their own limiting beliefs, and conveying to the child that imagination, talking to themselves - actually talking to nonphysical friends - and "pretending etc is "wrong" or worse "unnatural" or worse still "evil".

I am absolutely convinced that their is no disease in existence that a child cannot heal themself of with the right guidance. It is only when they are told that they are "terminally" ill that they believe it because they know only trust - in this case in the doctor.

It is such a paradox that children place total trust in their parents, but their parents indoctrinate them in to the material world.

Every new born child is God incarnate in the purest form - perfect, uncorrupted and with infinite potential, but within 8 years at most, the transition to materially focused human is all but complete.

Several people have asked me to write a version of OUR for children. I would dearly love to do that, but parents and teachers control what children read, and parents and teachers, whoare materially and religiously focused would never allow children to be exposed to such "evil" - the "work of the devil".

I remain extremely hopeful however that the next few years will change everything, and all humans remaining will be "Children of God" in every possible sense.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

[zensunni7]

Dear Adrian,

Yes, potential unrealized indeed.
My first observation about infants was that they were totally interacting with their world clairvoyantly, so I began addressing them in that manner. While holding them I became attuned to their energy and they could feel people walking up the drive, entering the room and so on. There would be an associated feeling and physical response indicative of specific people in their environment.

I was once told that if a child reached the age of seven, they had decided to stay. At seven or so I feel they know what they are going to be dealing with, and will most likely loose that connection to their Source, and have to struggle to regain it. They also know they can keep it, but it will make them stand out and be subject to ridicule, so they begin to shut it down by not using it anymore. I believe this is the ' loss of innocence ' we speak of.

Adults that are like children radiate this feeling of innocence, a genuine sense of self, like children do.
Parents often find themselves in that mode of being the ' no ' person.
" No you cannot - don't - stop - don't even think about it " I said -NO.
But it is generally something that leads a child to danger if they continue. We do not want our kids to ridiculed or hurt by others, so we also say no to ability's that can draw attention to themselves when not in our care.

As I said initially in the " Projection of Consciousness " thread, I used these ability's with my own children. I was ridiculed by family members to the point of leaving them behind and taking my family and new DNA lineage to the country.
I decided early on not to repeat history and stay with things I knew did NOT work regardless of the consequences.
I think there just comes a time when we can't care what others will say - do - or think. Most of us here have followed our hearts taking us to people that did the same and our children love us for that fact.
True, our children are controlled outside of our immediate realm of family,  but if we keep speaking our minds to theirs no-one controls them. Being responsible parents was never bout bringing home the bacon ( Yuk - swine ) but bringing home the Source.
America, and the UK I suspect are one insanity away from returning to the days of yore, the good old days of book banning and burnings. But many great works survived these days, as will many more, and under suppression the Human mind reaches into its imagination to break its bonds.
Children are Masters at this art.

WithIn Love
Darrell
