PARENTING FROM YOUR PAIN
When your past starts raising your children.
At the LMF October Edition, PSO took us into a deep and practical conversation about how our past experiences can shape the way we parent.
From rejection, abandonment and comparison to sibling wounds, financial failures, betrayal, grief and marital pain, many experiences can become lenses through which we interpret our children and respond to them.
One powerful reminder from the session was this:
If you do not identify what hurts you, you may not know how to deal with it so you can heal.
We also explored different parenting styles, the importance of affirmation, understanding the inner world of children, giving age appropriate freedom and learning to shape children without allowing our unresolved pain to shape them.
The teaching continued into a meaningful question and answer session, where real questions were met with practical wisdom and godly perspective.
It was a time to learn, reflect and look inward.
Because sometimes, before we can raise our children differently, we must first allow God to deal with how we were raised.
