“Parenting with the Law of Attraction in Mind”

From Life Coach & Parenting Coach Sharon Ballantine



No parent wants to see their children suffer through disappointment.



Given the opportunity, many parents would

gladly wave a magic wand and make all

disappointments disappear from their

children’s lives.



While it might seem like it would be wonderful to protect our

children from disappointment, rejection and hurt, it is not only

impossible, it can also be unhealthy and detrimental to

their growth.



Rather than shielding your children from

disappointments, you can guide them towards turning

them into successes.



Disappointment can be used as an effective tool for helping your children achieve success. It can be leveraged in a way that enables them to refine and

reach their goals.



Like expectation, disappointment comes in

all shapes and sizes. Maybe your son or daughter didn’t get the roll they wanted in

the school play, or they didn’t make the varsity

sports team or they didn’t get accepted to their first

choice college.



Whatever disappointment your child meets, don’t just minimize the

problem, expect them to sweep it under the rug, and to move on with their lives. Give them some time to

experience their feelings and to mourn.



It is difficult to say how long exactly is the right amount of time to allow

for mourning. Every situation is different, but if

you can open your heart and tune into your child, you will get a good sense

of how long is long enough, and you can

support them through it.



Every hurt is different. It might take a few minutes or a few days. Once you feel that your child is ready to process their upset in a different way, you can help them

to tune into their own Internal Guidance System (IGS) to

examine other ways that they might choose to experience their

situation.



You can help your children to focus on what they hoped for. Encourage them to tap deeply into the

feeling that they would have experienced by realizing their desired achievements. This will

help them to tune into their IGS and it will help them to uncover the motives driving their desires.



By tapping into their Internal Guidance System, they can decide if

what they wanted was about having a level of prestige, if it was about

connecting deeper with a peer group, or maybe they thought it would bring

them popularity.



Whatever the motivating factor is, once energy is shifted away from

disappointment and focussed on the desired positive feeling, your child can choose to be proactive about creating

that feeling in other ways. By aligning with the positive instead of the negative, your child will actually allow for these

experiences to come to them.



By clarifying their motives, your children can then use their internal

guidance system to determine other ways of achieving the same

type of feelings .



Perhaps a desire to get on the varsity team was about being with buddies and building a

deeper camaraderie. There might be an opportunity here to build another type of team or to become a supporting member

without actually playing.



Rejection can be used as a motivator to train harder with efforts to make the team next season, or to try out for another team.



By tuning into their IGS, your child can repurpose disappointment into a tool that

can help them realize and achieve what they really want. Any disappointment can be converted into a stepping stone toward

greater success.
