Parents & Children

Different Worlds

Children live in anticipation of adult freedoms, and they have difficulty understanding why their parents don’t want them to have any fun—fun that the children are convinced won’t hurt them.  Peer pressure is for adventure and discovery—not responsible behavior.

Adults living in their worlds of responsibilities and consequences don’t do very well at conveying realities to their children.  They have a hard time understanding why their children won’t simply take their word for what is right and wrong.  And, young adults are still trying to realize their childhood dreams of freedom.

Expectations For Children

You should expect the opportunity to grow your mind so that you can be prepared for adult life.  You should also expect to phase into the adult world of responsibility as you reach the legal age of majority.  As you expect to gain the freedoms of being an adult, you should expect to demonstrate your ability to handle those freedoms and responsibilities without running to your parents as if you were still a child.  Being in college can change some of the rules, but the basis transformation should still occur with you accepting your grownup role. 

While you may accept the value of completing your formal education, that completion does not in any way mean that the learning process should end.  Most of today’s jobs require continuing education for you to stay useful in them.  But what about gaining practical education about yourself, people, relationships, and the mysteries of life?  We recommend that you be aware of the advantage of this type of education and that you actively seek the knowledge whether you take our course material or not.

Expectations For Parents

Make a better effort to communicate with your children instead of just making decisions and issuing directives from your operating level.  But, the most important item is to establish a process where your children actively prepare to step into the adult world without you holding their hands every step of the way through their transitions.  Let them know early, that taking shortcuts to just having a good time leads downward—not upward.  Show them the value of taking each day of their lives as an opportunity to continue building their personal power for having increasing advantage in their lives.  Help them to understand that the continuing learning and mastering of life’s variables is an enjoyable and rewarding opportunity.
