Every mother, whether she realizes it or not, is constantly using the power of suggestion in rearing her children, healing all their little hurts. You kiss their bumps and bruises and tell the child that all is well again, and they are not only comforted, but they really believe that the kiss or caress has "magic" to cure the injury. A mother is constantly antidoting and neutralizing her child's little troubles and discords by giving the opposite thought and applying the love-elixr.
It is possible, then, for you to develop your children's faculties upon which health, success, and happiness depend. It's, again, the power of your words and feelings-emotions-on the life of your children.
If the cheerful, optimistic faculties are brought out and largely developed in childhood, it would change a person's whole outlook upon life as we grow older, and we would not go through years of discouragement, fear, apprehension, anxiety, mental anguish, and disappontments.
Talk health, love, courage, optimism around your children. More importantly, display those attributes. Watch what you say and do, even around little ones. They mimic us to a tee.
Every youth should be taught that they have a definite purpose in the world which no one else can fill and that they are special. Teach them that God is Love and is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, meaning that He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and is in all-space and time. Teach them that He is their Partner in life. Consequently, they will learn that they have no reason to fear.
I hope the time will come when all children will be taught to believe in themselves; to form a picture of their own endless possibilities and of their future. And, may they, also, be taught that they can be a conduit of God's love, unconditional love, in the life of all their fellow man.
Love to all,
Donna
