In 2020 there was a lot of loss, there was a lot of us being made to look at the reality of our current situations. Not only just in our personal lives but also our community, our circle, and our society at large. I think a lot of us decided that while there are a lot of good things going on, there are a lot of things that are going on that can just no longer be accepted.
Everyone is looking for power; while one of the things that we absolutely have power and dominion over is our household and the temperament and energy housed in the home. The environment in our homes can get stressful sometimes. Difficult conversations have to be had. We are very passionate and animated people and sometimes we can go from being in a passionate discussion to a full blown argument and perhaps we start using abusive language. We start using passive aggressive tactics such as not speaking to each other and making things difficult for each other. (I’m speaking of adults who are modeling childish behavior in their anger while our children are in eye sight and ear shot).
We need to consider whether or not we want our children to grow up in a tense environment, whether we want them to be nervous, whether we want them to have anxiety, whether we want them to feel that this way of communicating and problem solving is the right and most healthy way. These precious little people are the ones that if nurtured properly will change the trajectory that our generational curses have us on. This blog post is not meant to be condescending. It is just a reminder to consider who is in the room and to hone our ability to be the gatekeeper of our children’s minds, hearts and ears.
