SO MANY OF US , AS PARENTS, WANT TO SEE AND FEEL OUR CHILDREN HAVE AN EASIER TIME WITH LIFE.  WHAT A MYSTERIOUS WORLD INDEED THE CHILD IS BORN INTO! THERE IS SO MUCH TO FIGURE OUT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. SOME KIDS FIND IT EASIER OF COURSE BUT ALL KIDS ARE WIDE OPEN TO SUGGESTION (BOTH GOOD AND BAD).

THE AREA BETWEEN OUR CONSCIOUS AND SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND IS CALLED THE CRITICAL CONSCIOUS MIND OR GUARD AT THE GATE. A GROWN UP’S GUARD IS UP AND RUNNING A LOT EACH DAY, BUT A CHILD’S GUARD IS MORE OFTEN DOWN . THIS MEANS THAT INFORMATION, EITHER NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE MOVES EASILY INTO THE CHILD’S SUB-CONSCIOUS AND NEW PROGRAMS ARE BORN. A FEAR PROGRAM, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT BEGAN AT AGE 5, CAN STILL BE RUNNING AT AGE 65. FEARS AND PHOBIAS CAN EVEN BE PASSED ON FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.

AS A CULTURE, WE ALL NEED TO BE MORE AWARE OF HOW PROFOUNDLY OUR CHILDREN CAN BE AFFECTED BY WHAT ADULTS OFTEN THINK OF AS” UNIMPORTANT EVENTS.” AS A HYPNOTIST , I SEE PEOPLE CONSTANTLY WHO HAVE BEEN DEEPLY TRAUMATIZED BY THESE EVENTS FROM THEIR CHILDHOOD. 50 YEARS LATER, A PERSON CAN STILL BE DEALING WITH GUILT BECAUSE THEY FELT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAD LEAVING OR FOR MOM AND DAD FIGHTING. SOMETIMES LOW SELF ESTEME CAN BE TRACED BACK TO AN INITIAL SENSITIZING EVENT THAT OCCURED BEFORE THE AGE OF 6 AND THEN DEEPLY AFFECTED THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. ONE OF MY CLIENTS WAS TOLD THAT SHE HAD AN UNFORTUNATE FACE IN GRADE 1 AND CONTINUED TO BELIEVE IT AS A VERY ATTRACTIVE WOMAN.

OF COURSE , KIDS ALSO PICK UP THE SUGGESTIONS THAT THEY ARE LOVED, SAFE, DESERVING, LOVABLE AND PRECIOUS ETC. AND THESE ARE GEMS OF LIGHT TO KEEP AND CHERISH FOREVER. THE NEGATIVE PROGRAMS CAN BE NUETRALIZED (AND SOONER THEN LATER IS THE BEST). KIDS CAN BE EMPOWERED EARLY IN LIFE. THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, EVEN AS KIDS, THEY HAVE POWER AND CONTROL IN THEIR OWN MINDS-EVEN WHEN THINGS AROUND THEM ARE NOT GOING WELL. KIDS CAN LEARN TO LET THINGS GO THAT DO NOT SERVE THEM WELL. THEY CAN EVEN LEARN TO “NOT BE HURT” BY WHAT THE BULLY SAID AT SCHOOL. MOST KIDS ARE TOTALLY BRILLIANT AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE QUICKLY. I TRULY BELIEVE THEY ARE EVOLVING BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS AND NEED TO BE TREATED WITH THE UTMOST OF RESPECT. MANY BLESSINGS FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE, WANDA
