Situations and events in our lives require us to constantly change and adapt. What we are certain of one day may not be the same thing next week or even the next day. When we are involved in upheaval and disputes concerning our children who we love and care about deeply, finding touchstones to bring us back to our own center can be difficult. Below are a only a few: 1. It is the responsibility of each of us to protect children because they cannot protect themselves.2. Every individual is entitled to live and negotiate her or his life in safety. 3. Parents love their children unless there is a pathology that cripples their capacity to do so. 4. There is no compromise concerning violence and abusive behavior. 5. Sexual abuse, including verbal sexual abuse steals childhood. 6. Adults are responsible for their own thoughts, feelings and behavior. 7. Each of us must give up the need to be right. 8. Children almost always blame themselves for their parents unhappiness and anger. 9. Children pay much more attention to what you do than what you say. 10. Motherhood and Fatherhood are sacred relationships and they require adult behavior. |
