One of our limiting beliefs regarding our kids was that we didn’t want brilliant children because they would be too much work. We wanted average children who would go to school and fit in. Now we believe the complete opposite. Also, we used to think that if our kids weren’t obedient, then we weren’t good parents. But at the same time, we didn’t want to be such strict parents that our children felt like they didn’t have any personal power.
Take a moment and list any limiting beliefs in your life that may be preventing your children from reaching their potential.
If you don’t believe you have any special gifts or talents and suffer from a low sense of self, how do you expect to teach your children to strive for success? Our children depend on us to set a good example for them, and if you live according to a constant stream of negative images and thoughts, you’re passing those same destructive qualities on to them. We have to change our mental images to positive and abundant ones and teach them to do the same. When we find out that we’re all here for a reason and what our strengths are, our kids do the same.
The more we raise our awareness, the more freedom our children have to make their own choices and live their own lives. The subconscious mind is our command center, and each thought we allow to enter inevitably has an effect on our children. Any thought you expose yourself to repeatedly and impress upon the subconscious mind becomes fixed in this part of your personality. Do you ever tell yourself that you’re stupid when you make a mistake? The same happens with your children. The more they hear and feel you think it, the easier this false belief transfers to them.
