Hey Friend
What you say here makes perfect sense to me - and English isn't even my 1st language.
So, basically, you parented the way Jesus would have approved of. You showed, love, kindness, gentleness, compassion and understanding in the interactions you've had with the children. That's the right way
other parents can be temperamental, angry and abusive - crushing young spirits.
Yes, Thank you Andre,
for once again understanding it in the
right spirit, you consistently
do so well.
It feels GOOD
being & interacting... in these ^ qualities, as this is
the foundation from which God us each also created.
iow, each of these qualities are not only essential, they are in fact
the Natural way
Actually, (of many classes I've taught) was also
Parenting: how to succeed classes.
Because alarmingly
too many parents
utterly crush tiny children, even before they learn speech.
For truth, a child's most Critical-development occurs
from Conception to when they begin talking.
During these 2yrs., substantial Beliefs re how the body works & their Emotional-being are formed.
So it is
vital parents get a foundational understanding, how to successfully Interact...with, & influence...TINY children.
Related, increasingly are parents with a child who was (falsely) labeled as ADD, ADHD, autistic, or more foolishness.
Great! what an opportunity to demonstrate right in class
how easy connecting soul-to-soul is. Parents are astounded;
because they were falsely-led to believe these are unreachables ((like in 'Alzheimer's on the other end)) so
all sorts of Overt-behavioral nonsense ensues), because no one thinks to
Interact soul-to-soul serving as a mission-critical Choice.
Once parents have own issues healed, at the
soul-level really IS the Natural way to function, & teach & guide & influence.
Like,
when you read in the Bible
"God sees the heart" (in our innermost REAL-being), this is what He is talking about.
It is
in our soul plus our Inner-mind where all behavior starts, before it is outwardly manifested.
The Spiritual way is how God desires we
interact with one another for our mutual Uplift, & encouraging benefit...
so we can
ALL Honor, Praise, & Glory God
