“Next time you find yourself in a standoff with your child, ask yourself, what would you do if you weren’t afraid?” -Sarah Rosensweet

I’m pretty sure that when my kids were small, a lot of people around me thought I was a pushover.

 

…That I was coddling them.

 

…That I should be harder on them. 

 

…That I shouldn’t “give in.”

 

But I was NEVER afraid that my peaceful strategies weren’t going to work out.

 

Everything I did came out of trusting that they wanted to be good and trusting the process of their growth. 

 

Now, don’t think I’m perfect or that I think I’m perfect.

 

And it’s not like I didn’t have my days and years of overwhelm when they were little!

 

It’s just that this aspect of peaceful parenting came really naturally to me.

 

I pretty nearly always chose love rather than fear, at least with my kids.

 

I trusted that they wanted to be good and that they would learn what they needed to learn.

 

I wasn’t afraid to choose love.

 

And you know what?

 

I think it worked 🙂 

 

The “kids” are now 15, 18 and 21 and they are pretty stellar humans.

 

(You can hear them on podcast episodes #1 and #80 about being raised with peaceful parenting)

 

Next time you find yourself in a standoff with your child, ask yourself, what would you do if you weren’t afraid?

 

::  Afraid that you need to hold the limit no matter the cost.

 

::  Afraid of what people will think.

 

::  Afraid of how they might turn out.

 

::  Afraid that you need to “do something!”

 

What if you could TRUST in the process and choose radical love?

 

I can’t wait to hear what happens when you do.
