The Role of Thought in Parenting: Shaping How We Experience Our Children

 

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging experiences. The way we parent is shaped by our thoughts, moment by moment, as we navigate everything from tantrums to milestones. Through the understanding of the Three Principles—Mind, Thought, and Consciousness—we learn that our thoughts play a crucial role in how we experience parenting, our children, and ourselves in this role. 



Thought: The Lens Through Which We Parent 


Our thoughts create the experience we have in parenting. Whether we are feeling frustrated, joyful, or uncertain, these feelings arise from the thoughts we are entertaining in the moment. When we understand that our thoughts are temporary and constantly changing, we gain more patience with both ourselves and our children. By seeing that our emotions are shaped by thought, we stop reacting impulsively and instead respond with more clarity and calm. 



Consciousness: Becoming Aware of Our Thinking 


Consciousness allows us to become aware of the thoughts that are affecting our parenting. Whether we’re feeling overwhelmed by a particular behavior or stressed about an ongoing issue, awareness helps us see that these emotions are tied to our current thinking. This awareness helps us step back and gain perspective, allowing us to parent with more empathy and patience. 



Mind: Trusting in the Intelligence Behind Parenting 


The deeper intelligence of Mind is always guiding us as parents. When we trust in this wisdom, we stop trying to control every aspect of our children’s behavior and instead approach parenting with more openness and curiosity. Mind provides us with the clarity we need to navigate difficult moments, helping us reconnect with our natural parenting instincts and build a stronger relationship with our children. 

 


Conclusion 


Understanding the role of thought in parenting brings more clarity, patience, and empathy into our relationships with our children. By trusting in the wisdom of Mind and becoming aware of our thinking, we gain the ability to parent with more ease and confidence.

Pransky & Associates

In 1976, George and Linda Pransky stumbled on a new way of helping people that was radically different from the traditional counseling methods they had been using in their work. The new principles they were learning had a huge impact on their personal lives, their relationship, and the way they worked with their clients. They began to teach these principles to their clients and became pioneers in a new field of psychology that profoundly changed people in a short amount of time.
