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.
