When Good Parenting Goes Bad

Last night I watched a great documentary on HBO called Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck. It was fascinating. Watching such a sweet, tender, beautiful little soul get his first guitar on Christmas morning and immediately pick it up and begin to play...knowing that in about twenty five years from that moment he would choose to end his own life, was heartbreaking. But it was also enlightening.

This week's KeliTV episode looks at When Good Parenting Goes Bad.

I was born to create soulful connections so that we can lift each other to the highest possibility. Throughout my life I have done this in many different ways...from being a cheerleader to a Naturopathic Doctor; but I have always done it. It is my WHY. The underlying reason for everything I do.

Luckily I was blessed to have parents who recognized and nurtured me to the best of their abilities, and where they were lacking I took up the slack.

This week I encourage those of you that are parents to objectively look at your parenting style to determine if you are nurturing your children for who they are, or trying to turn them into who you think they should be. Remember...they are perfect exactly as God created them, all you have to do is love and accept them for the amazing gifts that they are.

Your challenge for this week is to examine your relationship with your Self. Are you nurturing who you came here to be, or trying to turn yourself into something else? Do you know your why? Or do you need someone to help lift you to Your highest possibility? If you do...I'm here.

With love & light,
