I loved your meditation for the week about parents taking the time to nurture themselves, with an important side-effect of being a better parent.
Maybe parenting has never been the world’s easiest job. With a parent’s having less and less control over her offspring’s environment, the parent-child relationship is more crucial than ever.
When parents are stressed, their own self esteem often falls, dragging the child’s self worth down, too. Maintaining our relationship – first with ourselves – puts us in a space to communicate the unconditional acceptance and love we have for our child.
A parent living on purpose with passion and integrity, who creates wonder and appreciation for herself is one who is Empowering For Change – guiding her child to create lives they will both love.

Billie,
Thanks for your wonderful reply. You really say it all. It is crucial to know that as a parent your self esteem is critically related to your child’s.
