Adults Perpetuate Their Childhood Pain

Adults Perpetuate Their Childhood Pain

Myth #1 Repetition creates change. Truth: Right repetition creates change!
Contact constant with the same verbal disciplinary content is boring and tedious! …to adults! Children can obviously hear you say ‘it’ over and over and over again because their free spirits and near empty heads give wing to noise. There’s nothing in there initially to hold or block the exit of your voice commands, er, requests from going in one ear and out the other!

“Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.” ~ Jim Rohn
When the washing machine was invented, we stopped washing most of our clothing by hand. When the dishwasher was invented, we stopped washing most of our dishes by hand. When schools cropped up all over the land, we sent our kids to school instead of home schooling them! Why? Because with all we have to do day to day, it was and still is too much to have to do ALL of that on our own when help is available!
“Constant repetition carries conviction.” ~ Robert Collier
Same deal with having to say the same things 10,000 or more times yourself when you can have the:
Save Your Breath sometimes for saying the warm and loving things your family longs to hear. We quite literally need to save our breath on at least a couple of levels, environmentally and in our relationships. I’m talking about CLEAR communication in relationships and for the moment, dealing with children.
After hearing selections from the Save Your Breath CD a few times, I only had to ask my Son ONCE to do what I needed for him to do! He quite simply did not want me to have to put that thing(the CD) on…. and significant stress was alleviated from my nerves! This constant repetition of saying it over and again yourself is a stressful activity that has been passed on from generation to generation.
Please tell me now in the comments below… Is it right for you to have to say it 10,000 times over a decade when it can be done by these technology gifts?
Truth: All you need is The Golden Rule.
What do you think about the ‘keep it simple’ wisdom of The Golden Rule?

Handle Your Cell Phone/Appliance Addictions!

Handle your cell phone and other appliance addiction when in the presence of your children. I know that is a tall order for many of us since the very definition of an addict is ‘one who is physiologically dependent upon a drug(in this case appliances)’, ‘one who abandons oneself to something compulsively or obsessively’. I cringe to think we are that weak.

We really are not that weak. We are non-thinking, un’conscious’! Snap out of it!

I observe sweet little faces aged 1 to 10 glazed over as they watch or otherwise suck in neglect as their parents give their undivided(our brains can only do one thing at a time) attention to an appliance! Feel that sick sensation of knowing that these children are themselves slowly being marginalized and rendered into robotitrons themselves, that they are being rendered into people who have lost touch with their core humanity and can’t tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong in relationship to other people(check the news).
Our children need us. We need them! We need each other! Appliances, though they have people speaking through them, are NOT to be given priority over a HUMAN in your physical presence. HUMAN physical presence is ten times the blessing of a human over an appliance (unless the human over the appliance is about to save your life). Human physical presence is in itself the presence of the most direct Heat of Love. It is to be cherished in form and substance.
Can you see that appliance addiction is something we MUST handle?
Truth: Technology is our friend.
