What does it mean to raise children in wholeness?
Wholeness is about embracing all of your uniqueness and gifts, vices, and virtues. It's about knowing yourself so well that you can uphold your boundaries, honor your needs, and feel deeply connected to your purpose and being. This is what I hope my daughter is raised with.
We are always whole, and sometimes we forget. Through cultural conditioning, trauma, or not having our needs met as children we fragment ourselves, hide parts of ourselves for safety, survival, or belonging. It's usually the parts of ourselves where our unique gifts lie.
As parents and caretakers, we can not give our children what we can not give for ourselves. How do we as parents who have experienced our own trauma and lifetime of fragmentation, come together and raise our children in a new way that supports wholeness from the start? It's not easy, AND it's the most important thing we can strive for our children and creating a better world. Raising children in wholeness means, remembering our own wholeness.
"Children must never work for our love, they must rest in it."
- Dr. Gordon Neufeld, Developmental Psychologist.
