Thank GOD Teal is not my mother, otherwise I may not have even been fed,
judging by what she stated near the start of this talk.
I’ve worked as a nanny part-time for the past three years just because I
enjoy it so much. It is actually surprising to me when I watch some parents
to be completely unaware of the difference of when their child is crying
out of need or out of manipulation. It seems so obvious to me but the
child’s own mother has no idea. This is actually only one family I’ve
worked with but it still surprises me that this is even possible that a
biological mother can be so out of tune with their young child.
People don’t understand how vitally important fatherhood is or even what it
is and that it can only be done correctly by men, The trend of the single
mother or mixed families is not going to lead to anything good.
unstable relationships creates unstable people
Thank for sharing these wonderful concepts.
oops, 19 yrs too late…
I really enjoy watching your videos..
What if a person has unresolved sense of significance and lack of love in
the past issues and wants to create a family to target them? Some quite
young people see something rebellious in creating a family themselves.
then again everything is a joke, in a good way, a funny way. cuz for
thousands of years weve been bickering about things that dont matter.
maybe the right minerals and vitamins, and diet will sedate us into
tranquility us so we can unwind and laugh about sweet nothings. like pot
heads.
be happy with who what and where you are at any moment, and follow your
excitement. and your child will be the same.
Thank you sooooooo much Teal!
I asked on your website to reload this!
Just thinking…. we live a world of debt repaying all of the world’s
bullish… lol am just joking we can all cuddle around like penguins and
share as we’re still alive. :D
i dont agree with talking to your children in that tone of voice saying
“how said, mommy and daddy only read to girls who brush their teeth”
how i like to shift my perspective to think of how to act is to ask my self
“how would i have or want my children to act if they were a parent in my
situation”
constantly focus on your spirit, power, and love, and a constant gentle
reaching for theirs. see them how you want them to see themselves.
when a “problem” occurs, rejoice and smile and be elated because it reminds
you that “problems” arnt “problems” anymore, their opportunities to heal
with love and tears of happiness.
let your ego go, let them be parents. foster a high level of connection and
closeness and show them to be friendly and fearless and have a knowing of
their true unshakable unconditionally loving self, so the attacks in the
world can bounce off their heart and they dont get swayed by society to
think less of themselves.
everything is balance(something to really think about what that means)
there two options or directions, together and love, or segregate and fear.
dont ignore your kids troubles, but dont buy into their perception,
maintain a source perspective, if you feel sorry, your just seeing it
negatively and affirming it for them. always see things positively, receive
the service they are there for. everything in life created and placed there
by a co-creation of you and your child.
let go of as much fear as you can, trust your child as much as you can, if
you have worries you cant quite let go of, allow your self to feel it, and
put it on the table on, share your concerns with your child, dont bottle
things, be transparent be a team.
make comfortably learning, remembering and practicing an interest of yours
and encourage it in the family, especially topics of ego and unconditional
love.
“actively calm and calmly active”
Where were you 3 decades ago????
does she have children,( Just asking?)
Amazing advice. Culturally, this has been a struggle for me with the
punishment vs consequence concept. Culture advocates for punishment instead
of consequence but expects the child to magically understand consequence
and independence as an adult. I think the main idea is to relinquish
control over our kids. Their freedom is at stake if we don’t. I love this,
I feel as if someone finally understands how I feel about this….very
refreshing
I loved your video! It really showed me the importance of guiding.
Parenting does seem like a challenge since you do want the best for your
children. I just really want my children to be truly happy and to feel free
to be who they want to be. See.. I grew up with a very strict father and a
very passive mom. Super opposite! So, that taught me to try to be inbetween
as a parent.. Which is like you mentioned.. Guideness and support. Not
forcing them, neither doing things for them. Just letting them learn with
our guideness. (: awesome advice! … Also, I still truly love both of
them! I know that they both worked hard to raise me. We’re not perfect…
So I love them no matter what (:
↓ Forgive them, for they do not know what they say ↓ . Thank you, Teal!
literally blooming children was pretty grotesque in my imagination…
Very insightful, thank you, Teal.
Wow.. I’m sorry I read these comments, Joanna L good job being calm and
level headed. May I have the composer of you! Anyway wow.. thought I would
break up this heavy energy in this post, and it is done!

Thank you so much for this video. You are absolutely correct. My youngest
son is turning 18 this month and what you said at the end of this video
about trusting him to know what is right for him is exactly what I need to
do. He is an amazing person with a terrific sense of right and wrong and he
has amazed me so many times while he was growing up with incredibly
profound words of wisdom that I would have never expected to hear from
someone his age. I do trust him to do the right thing for him. I just need
to make sure that he knows that. He is gonna do great.
Teal, if you ever see this question, I was wondering if you practice the
tonglen, and what do you think about it and what would you reccommend to
someone who feels a calling to be a practitioner?
Whatever happened to the good old days when all you needed to read was Dr.
Spock?
This is all kinds of awesome! I love this show!
I like your shirt, where’d you get that shirt? Gift bag or something?
maMMa ….caCCa…..

Kakka.

way 😀
Great sketch! I don’t recall seeing this in the show though…?
