Parenting

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center

Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW

If you are navigating parenting, you may feel stretched in ways you never anticipated. You want to respond with patience and wisdom, yet stress, fatigue, and your own history can surface in the hardest moments. You may question whether you are doing enough, doing it right, or unintentionally repeating patterns you hoped to change. At Selah Counselling, we support parents with compassion and practical guidance. We understand that parenting activates your own attachment history and nervous system. Together, we explore your child’s needs alongside your responses to help you build regulation, consistent boundaries, and connected communication. Our goal is not perfection. It is steadiness. We help you parent from awareness rather than reaction, strengthening the relationship with your child while also caring for your own emotional health.
