Goodmorning to all the readers. I am back…and will be now weekly! I sit this morning pondering the vastness of the divine. With the permission of my client, I wish to share a story with you today. This client has a son with severe behavioral problems. When I would coach her with disciplinary tactics, she would share that she was afraid of “breaking his spirit” or being unkind. She feared that if she set boundaries with him, it would be unkind. Now by no means would I recommend any type of corporal punishment to her, but when it came to not letting him play that day if he continued disrespect to her, and act out, that was another story. Boundaries were an important part to getting peace in her life, and his life. He needed the boundaries or he actually on an unconscious level would feel unsafe, and lack respect for her. Many of my adult clients who have parents that did not show strength in their energy while they were growing up, look down on their parents now because it is part of our nature when developing to want to be shown the way and feel protected and safe, as well as be given clear messages on how to be. The children look to us on how to be in the world and to show true strength in character. The question is: what is strength?
