We need to look at the importance of parenting consciously from the perspective of humanity as a collective entity. We should not view the creation of happy and healthy children as a mere benefit to the direct family unit, but rather the way in which we can improve the life experiences for everyone on a global scale. We are becoming acutely aware of our interconnectedness, and the way in which we raise our children can be a profoundly positive influence on this.
As parents and carers of children we hold an enormous ability to create change. We are in a period where many are feeling a sense of powerlessness in a society that is growing increasingly complex. Being present and focusing energy on raising well adjusted children is a way to create change. We need to be mindful of many generations ahead, and the way in which we choose to raise our children is the planting of those seeds.
