The Universal Law of Attraction and Parenting

Many parents struggle with their children to get them to listen, make good decisions or take on responsibilities appropriate for their age.  Learning, understanding and utilizing the Universal Law of Attraction can help parents create a happier home filled with respect and peace.

Identifying the Causes of Struggle

According to the Universal Law of Attraction like energy attracts like energy. This means that the people around us are constantly responding to, and reflecting back, the energy we give out through our actions, thoughts, and feelings. Children mirror back to us exactly what is going in inside of us.

If your children are out of control and constantly fighting with you and with each other, one of the first things you should do to begin parenting using the Universal Law of Attraction is look at yourself. Understand how you, your spouse and your relationship with one another are affecting your children’s behavior. You can use some of the following questions to help clarify the things that may be affecting behavior:

• Are your children responding to stress? Are you stressed? Is your spouse stressed? Is your relationship stressed?
• Are your children acting out because they do not get enough quality one on one time with you and your spouse?
• Are your kids refusing to interact with you? If so, why? Are you fun to be around or a bore?  Do you make time for your kids or push them away when they try to interact with you?
• Are you or your spouse angry all the time? Are your children mirroring that anger?
• Are you or your spouse physical with one another or with your children?  Are your children physically aggressive or violent?

It may not take long to start seeing why your children behave as they do. Once you have a better understanding of how you are affecting your children you can begin to work on yourself and consequently help your children to change their behaviors.

One of the keys to parenting using the Universal Law of Attraction is to understand that you are constantly modeling behaviors for your children every minute of the day and night. Since like energy attracts like energy, the energy you emit affects the energy your children mirror back to you. Another way to say this is, if you constantly yell at your children, physically push them around or speak to them disrespectfully you are teaching them to respond to you in exactly the same way.

The Universal Law of Attraction focuses on helping you to stay in a place of happiness and joy so are not frustrated or angry. When you learn to control those inner thoughts you can manifest a positive energy that your children will observe, feel and model back to you. So, if you can step back, take a breath, and speak to your children with respect in a calm, loving manner your children will respond in the same way.

Parents are the mirror of a child’s self-esteem. When you master the Universal Law of Attraction, you will understand the power of words to build up your own and your children’s self-esteem. When you learn to live in that place of joy and happiness, you will begin using words to encourage and lift up the worth of every member in your family. Positive mirroring will allow your children to believe in their own self worth and their abilities so that they can follow their passions and live a truly successful and fulfilling life.

The Universal Law of Attraction” helps you to focus on how to nurture self-respect in your children by letting them know how valuable they are for who they are and who they can become instead of what they are or what they do right now. You will be able to celebrate the natural gifts they possess that make them unique, and demonstrate how grateful you are for who they are, and the joy they bring you.

Discipline is an important part of teaching respect and how to do things better in the future. It is not about focusing on the negative behavior but rather, correcting the issue. For discipline to really help a child make better decisions in the future it must be implemented with respect.  The discipline should focus on the solution-and how to handle the situation better the next time. Consequences should be directly tied to the behavior being corrected.

Using principles and tools of the Universal Law of Attraction you will begin focusing on the positives, be it words, actions, or feelings, and create an environment of positive energy that attracts a matching positive energy from your children. The struggles will be replaced with higher quality interactions, more respect and more cooperation for a happier life together.
