THE CHILD’S ENVIRONMENT

The child’s environment is important, they have anxiety and fears just like their parents

They feel your pain and your happiness, to them you are transparent

No matter how much you try to hid, they see right through it

You can say you are fine, but if allowed they’d call bullshit

Children feed off their parent’s emotions every single day, some days confused

Other days so happy and over the moon with excitement, even amused

The environment you as a parent are in is vital to not only you

But extremely important to the children in the household and their point of view

Toxic environments with drinking or fighting can cause a child to have anger

The child’s environment with a non-existent parent can make that child feel that parent misunderstands her

The child’s environment with a narcissist can be tricky as the child may not even realize they are being used

It is when they get a little older they notice that they have been emotionally abused

Physical and emotional abuse can cause long term harm to them

They will remember that pain and the words of the abuser, so one day we can only hope they can overcome and win

Parents are supposed to protect their children, provide a safe environment and support them so

But so many parents make it about themselves and don’t help them grow

We can only hope that there is one adult parent who makes it about their kids

Works through their children’s fears, tears, nightmares, first love and first kiss

Instead of criticizing their every move, questioning all of these

Understanding the difference between raising them up and dropping them to their knees

In the child’s environment, we need to teach, so there should be consequences for children and their mistakes

But we also don’t need to have them scared and in constant tears when they make those mistakes

Noone is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, even parents and how do they get in trouble

Those parent’s do not, they causes the most tears, feel they never do wrong and walk around in a bubble

Our children are precious angels sent from our God above

All they want and deserve is their parents never ending praise and love

A child’s environment should be safe, loving, constant, allowing them to learn and grow without any fears or anxiety.
