As a human being you want to be loved for who you are. You look for this confirmation starting with your parents.
As a parent it is necessary to give the child guidelines and structure. Invariably by doing this you are setting yourself up as the big person, the adult that knows better, which is an important role, but not the only one.
Just as important is seeing your child as a full, equal human being and soul. You can achieve this by creating the space where he/she can be who he/she is without judgement. A space of unconditional love where they feel safe, are seen for the beautiful soul they are, and where they are mirrored unconditional love. In this space it is one soul seeing and being with the other as equals, where no roles/rules are imposed, where the soul can evolve, spread its wings in its fullest potential.
When your child is seen and loved for who he/she is (not some ideal thought of who your child should be), he/she is in touch with his/her essence. This acknowledgement emphasizes the child's inner beauty, strengthens his/her belief in himself/herself and teaches him/her to be in that unconditional space also for others.
When you create this unconditional love space for your children too, you are not only strengthening your bond to your child, but you are changing the world, because they will know how to truly love others as equals.
