When
Dr. Wayne Dyer
asked this question of parents, grandparents, educators, and helping professionals,
he found that the answers emphasized the personal well-being of their children.
He used the answers as chapters in his book What Do You Really Want for
Your Children?. The wants expressed are an ideal summary of what it
means to be a no-limit human being. Children can be brought up to value
themselves rather than have low self-esteem; to celebrate their own potential
greatness rather than fear it; to be creative rather than one of the herd;
to have peace and love in their hearts rather than anger and hate; to feel
powerful and useful rather than unimportant and bored; to experience a stress-free
life rather than relying on drugs and pills; to enjoy life rather than competing
against it; and to be motivated by a desire to grow rather than to repair
deficiency.
The school uses this list of what we really want for our children as well as the last parts of each chapter about what our psychological payoffs are to not have those qualities in our children. We want children who: - value themselves The book offers specific techniques to make the journey of parenting a glorious experience rather than a frustrating battleground. It's on our reading list. It's an important part of our value system. |
