As a mother it is sometimes very difficult to step back and let go. The longer you attempt to hang on to your chilldren the more stressful your life becomes.

Let me tell you, as a Dad of four children letting go was not easy. However, when I understood how to let go and accept my children I experienced profound stress relief.

So how do you accept and let go? Or how do you know that you have accepted and let go?

Children will be children. Each child is different. The challenge is wanting the best for your children and not getting caught up in pleasing them and forsaking your values.

Values are the thing you hold important to you. Like giving your children what they need instead of what they want.

Accepting and letting go starts at home. Your children will get some scrapes and bruises. When you can allow them to “fall” without picking them up then you are beginning to discover how it feels let go and accept.

Peace,
