 Teaching children LOA
Hi there,
I'm wondering if Steve and Erin, or if anyone else, has tried to teach their children the law of attraction? The reason I ask is because I frequently find opportunities to do so, but I understand the emotional capability and lack of control that a child has could make this difficult.
I have a stepson, 11, almost 12, who of course, is encountering a lot of issues, and often he chooses to be unhappy about it. When I say, "well, you can choose to be unhappy or to be happy," he replies, "well, then I guess I'll be unhappy." When I say he has control to change that emotion he says, "but, I'm still bummed about it." I'm worried about his lack of confidence and willingness to delve into self-pity. The thing is, he's extraordinary compassionate, but any criticism he hears he takes to heart, just as any minor setback he internalizes, rather than defy it, deflect it, or fight it.
And I understand, being that age, the difficulty it is to deal with your emotions and to even fathom you have any control over them.
Anyone have any success with this? Or have any suggestions with helping a young, bright, handsome, funny, talented guy to believe in himself?  |
