Hold On To Your Kids

Hold on to your kids Hold on to the thread Hold on to their hands and stay with them when they fall asleep in bed Hold on to their joy Hold on to their spark hold on to their dance and don't ever break their hearts Hold on to their world Hold on to their rhyme Hold on to the moment and let go of adult time Hold on to their purity Hold on to their honesty When they have nothing to fear they radiate spontaneity Don't point the finger and don't count down Don't raise your voice little spirits get crushed and frown Don't raise your hand and don't hit the wall Stress is experienced by all of us even in little ones so small Don't leave them to cry alone in a room Follow your instincts as a parent in tune Don't use bribery don't use coercion Don't make them work for closeness it will breed aversion Never lie to your children even in small ways You will be caught out on the bigger days Use connection and not separation They always want to be close even when you want to go in the opposite direction I know it's not easy they can drive you up the wall I know it's not easy with the schedules of work, activities and School I know it's not easy but it's you who carry your own sack All that has happened to you in your life you carry on your back They are all born fresh and new so turn your eyes around and question your own conditioned attitude All that has happened to you, you don't have to pass on, be free from your conditioning and learn to sing your own song Hold on to the attachment bond Hold on to the relationship Work on the environment Work on your friendship Make the relationship primary with unconditional love and acceptance Stay connected to each other Dependence will invite independence Attachment is the shield Attachment is the sword When they are out in the world it will protect them while they explore Communication is key, a primary attachment faculty Learn to listen again without urgency Their counter will grows as attachment wanes Attachments that don't work cause frustration and emotional pain Don't let anything separate your child from you psychologically Parenting is a relationship, a bond, a journey, not just biologically Collect your child after separation With smiles, hugs, and kiss This is the attachment revelation Play and have fun, let them be themselves in all colours In a nonviolent environment They will teach you about what really matters As we know, life is not always yes, but they will listen If the attachment is strong, and your guidance is at its best They will express futility, let the tears flow They will accept that sometimes life is NO Trust in the child's desire to be good The relationship between parent and child is sacred Let us not destroy it with fear parenting And You must and you should We need to hold onto to them until they can hold on to themselves For emotional growth children need to feel secure and well Don't be impatient for your children to grow up One day you will wake up and they will be gone To live their own life and drink from their own cup So in summary, its all about attachment, collection and connection When problems occur work in the relationship direction You have my full support from one parent to another Hold on to your kids like no other.
