Parenting is an opportunity to learn and grow, revisit our own stages of development, and learn new ways to deal effectively with our children. It is also an opportunity to work as a team with those we may be parenting with while learning healthy effective communication and collaboration skills.

Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
My approach to parenting may be unusual for many people in modern, Western cultures as it comes from a more traditional, growth oriented approach. I was raised in a modern, Euro-centric culture whose conformist, material values are not oriented toward community, family, or the individual. As a psychotherapist, I've noted that most of my clients struggled with a lack of parental support. This is true for both clients who come with problems and those approaching new opportunities. From these clients and my own experience as child and parent, I feel parents are responsible for their children's material and spiritual growth. To play this role, a parent needs to be materially supportive, empathetic, understanding, aware and, most of all, have their own spiritual values. My prescription for successful parenting is simple: be a positive role model in all regards. Once you have accomplished this, or are working to do so, you can address the problems you children may have. In most cases, or perhaps all cases, their problems will direct you to their solutions, which is to say solutions that are pertinent for them. It is possible, but it is rare, that how you conceive of their problems, and what you envisage as the solution to them, may be correct. It is more likely that you're wrong, and that finding the right answers will take patience and effort. Showing that you understand this is a lesson in itself. As a parent, you are basically a therapist whose payment is fulfilling your obligation and winning your children's gratitude; not their future gratitude but their present gratitude. If you are not appreciated, then you probably are not helpful. Whether you are succeeding or failing, you must remain committed to helping them find solutions. Like a therapist, you know very little compared to the complexity of the situations with which you are presented. You are obliged to provide energy, resources, encouragement, guidance, and protection. Your sincere advice is only as useful as it is appropriate, and even then it is likely mistaken. You have to know how to operate with responsibility but limited authority. Being a parent is not a privilege, it is an honor. You are called to play a role in your child's success or failure. You are not responsible for their success, but should take responsibility for their failures because you should understand the value of failure better than they do. Most parents fail because they are not fully committed to being parents in the full sense of the word. What that means will to be determined by what your child thinks and feels. You are their counselor, you are at their service, and you must listen to them. As with moral virtue, you simply do your best.

Walking that line between structure and discipline and allowing your children to grow and explore on their own is not easy. Finding that 'balance' - and still finding time for yourself and for your career and partner - needs the support of community not always available to help. I will listen to you while you find your own unique way, occasionally drawing on and sharing my experience as a mother, single parent, foster parent, wife, daughter and career woman. Being a parent is not only the most important job, I think it's also (perhaps) the hardest job (to do well). I believe an important part of parenting is to teach children to be curious, mindful, accepting and respectful of the world and to help them understand their own needs and how to address and fill those needs, themselves, by the time they reach adulthood.
