I must say a word about parenting, without being a parent myself yet just by being the child, for 25 years old now.

From my observation there are those who, as was mentioned neglect the child, and there are those who over dominate - let me say something about those who voer dominate!

They kye to this :
"I know what is good for my child! BETTER that the child! I know how it is! In my child hood i did not have enough love = i will give this child ALL the love!! I did not play violin as a child = my child will!!"

The - a child probably feels this pressure of expectation from his parent! The parent, if he wants to help his child - should look NOW at the child`s needs and NOT into HIS past!!! i have been rais like that and it was a bunch of illusions i am processing! only now i realize how unhappy i have been all that time.

Be IN THE NOW and with the child - not with the inner child within you!!! you cannot improve your past life using your kid - you can only look at the kid and what he wants!
