As a single father being able to see my children grow up has been such a grateful and fulfilling experience. Watching, guiding and coaching my kids go through each major life check points. From starting school, to changing schools, to sport activities and seeing them adapt to each new check point.
I have discussed with other parents as to what to expect next and what do my kids need in their next phase of life starts for them. From all those conversations the need for kids to be able to have the skill of transition is a pattern that has reoccurred. A major one of life chapters is just starting for my oldest and just behind my youngest is starting that journey.
That major life change is starting a career and starting the transition of moving on their own. Years ago this event seemed so far away, yet now it is here and happening right now. It is with happiness and some sadness, as I realize this major life change even will change our dynamics forever.
We have called ourselves the three musketeers for the last nine years. During that time we have all experienced so much and all have grown. I am grateful of the opportunities that surround my kids as with these opportunities will enable them to go out into the world to function independently.
The thought of time comes to mind and to embrace each moment with your kids. Depending on where the age of your kids is currently at. I encourage you to stay in the moment with them and enjoy being the single biggest influence they will have in their life. With that influence comes great responsibility and the impact you leave them with. This impact will be the starting base of their foundation of their entire life.
As a parent the need to truly serve your kids is paramount in all factors of their growth. The importance of taking your personal success in every aspect of your life. From your professional career to your successful personal relationships. It is your duty to transfer as much knowledge of your successes to your kids.
The age we live in on this planet, the real reality is there are now more human beings than has ever been before. As such less resources for each person, so at the end of the day your knowledge transfer can be game changing for your kids success. As this world is very competitive and cold in regards to human beings trying to gather the energy we all need to survive.
Some cultures handle this transfer of knowledge in different ways and each has different levels of effectiveness Yet the pattern of being the most successful remains in the this world. The importance of being able to teach the skill of transition to our kids is one of the key areas to enable them for a strong foundation of adaptability.
There used to be a time when we could rest for a while after achieving something. Whether it was in our personal life or work life. Now that is not the case anymore as with the speed of knowledge transfer over the last 50 years has increased. Hence the reality is that due to this increase level of energy that exists in the world around us. The importance for us to teach our kinds how to complete the skill of transition. Change as we used to know it will never be the same and as each passing moment that speed is increasing.
To teach the the value to our kids to never rest and to keep pushing forward with their dreams is vital. The harsh reality is if they don't master this skill others will and your kids will be left behind. If this process starts to happen when they are older, as a parent it will be more difficult for you to teach them the skill of transition.
The process of continuous improvement within your kids life is required for them to live a full life. Isn't this a goal as parents we all want for our kids? To be better and stronger than we are.
For our kids to have the skills to be able to live their life to their greatest potential. To be not held back by us and our dreams that we have failed to accomplish in our life.
Enjoy each moment with your kids and by doing this it will help build the skill of transition.
