Observing myself, my family, my clients, I came up with a hypothesis about the connection between accepting your inner child and your attitude towards your children. It goes like this. How we relate to our inner child will determine how we relate to our own children. Let me explain. I noticed that some adults who have their own children devote frankly little time, energy, and love to their children (from their point of view). At the same time, there is a varying amount of guilt and dissatisfaction with oneself as a parent. Often, such parents choose specialties that are related to working with other children (teachers, children's doctors, educators, etc.), devoting a lot of their time to this work, and accordingly to other people's children, investing in it, leaving a minimum for their child. Moreover, time with your children is often spent more out of necessity than out of want. And some adults enjoy taking care of their children. Moreover, even if their work is connected with other children, they still leave the right amount of warmth, love and tenderness for their children. In this regard, it can be assumed that in order to get closer emotionally to their own child (from the point of view of the parent, since the child may think that everything is fine as it is) it is important to establish relationships with your inner child. Accept him, love him, warm him. Why does this happen? It seems that non-acceptance of your child leaves an imprint on the rejection of your own child. After all, your own child is, to some extent, also a part of you. It's like your inner child materialized. And if he is not held in high esteem, then how can this walking copy be held in high esteem? If your inner child is caressed, accepted and loved, then the appearing children will mainly bring joy, tenderness and bring a lot of pleasure in the process of communication. And what will be left for the other children. It turns out again the following: if you want to communicate normally with other people, sort yourself out. Figure it out and accept what is left in you from your wonderful childhood. Remember, experience all the joys, sorrows, grievances that remain in your little boy (girl), who for some reason do not allow you to accept, forgive, love the tomboy who sits inside. I understand that the task is not easy. This is a serious piece of work. However, if we want to do something good for our children (for example, a happy parent when he has contact with his own children), then I think we need to do this.
