Does anyone ever wonder about the soul purpose of their child? For example, my two children showed distinctly different personalities early on. My husband and I homeschooled our children; we tried to present them with educational opportunities geared toward their unique interests. It seems like a lot of adults are unhappy with their career and life choices. I wonder how different this might have been if their parents had some inkling of their special talents when they were young and tried to encourage them.
I don't honestly think that a lot of parents consider this no.... however I think it's fantastic that you're giving them so much love, support, and encouragement to follow their dreams and interests... too many parents in this world try to make their children into what the parent could never be...its sad
Do some parents on this forum share information in private messages or private emails? I don't see the email buttons that were specified in the FAQs.
i think it's 100 posts. keeps the banned trolls from harassing people and people who are just cruising for sex from bothering everyone.
but back to your Q, I think that a lot of parents HERE might let that wander along their brain highway. I also think that we are all here to find and fulfill our purposes, lifelong, so pegging at a young age is not good for the person.
I don't think there is a sole purpose, I don't think there is just one. I agree with pp that children grow and change so much so we have to be careful with labels and such. But I do think it is a wonderful thing that you have listened to your instincts and fostered a growth and love of life in your children by guiding them to follow their instincts. I often wonder how different many of the adults I know would be (including myself) had we just had parents who really got it, yk?
I think a lot of kids are over looked regarding the innate talents they come into this world with. Many parents project themselves onto their children and encourage within them what they themselves desire instead of truly seeing into their children and knowing what they are about and who they really are. I think this could be a big part of the reason why there are so many unfilled people in the world. I think you may be onto something here! ____________ Sit back, relax and mozy on over to: Children's Bedroom Furniture.
I think its most important that a parent give their child as many opportunities to experience new things as possible, and allow the kid to decide for themselves what they like and dont like. and realize that as we age, our interests change, and we discover more clearly what our abilities are and what really makes us happy - so finding "purpose" is up to the individual to discover. i think the parent should serve to encourage their child and provide them with the means of experiencing new things, by giving them options. thats how i would raise my kid, i'd let them try everything.
