PARENTS

The parent-child relationship, often conceived from the depths of love, can produce some of the most anguish a human can feel. How such a small being can stir up such big feelings of frustration and inadequacy baffles many of us. Parents, including myself, find the Avatar tools to be of singular value because they reveal where these reactions come from and what to do about them.

When our children push our buttons, they are triggering beliefs from our own childhoods that booby trap our relationships. We feel powerless to change these incendiary beliefs, or rarely even see them in full light. Through Avatar belief management strategies, parents can find and revise these beliefs to serve the conscious good intentions we have now. With the minefield cleared, we may stay open-hearted and open-minded with our children -- or at least to be able to return to this state much more quickly than ever before.
