In a recent email a woman asked,
"I know we all have our struggles with our children. I was wondering what thoughts others have on helping our children. Here's my situation. I have a 10 year old boy who is extremely shy. I am wondering how I can use the Law of Attraction to help him open up and feel more confident in himself. Also, I have an 8 year-old daughter. She is an angry little girl. I could really use some help trying to bring out the best in my children, when talking and ‘showing’ isn't working.”
Our children are our best teacher's and since all in our world are products of our very own mind, then all in our world are our children. Those that appear in our world most of the day are showing us what is within us. As you are, IS as your children are. All are a mirror for us.
My questions for this mother would be:
1- How do you feel about your boy being shy?
2- How do you feel about your girl being angry?
These answers will show her why her children are acting the way they are. The messengers that appear in our world - our children - represent for us something about us. So what messages could we suppose this son and daughter are bringing to their mom?
Our children are our best teachers. We cannot change another nor can we expect our children to change us. We need to change our minds by changing our thoughts and the feelings that empower them if we expect to see change in our children - our world.
As you change so does your world. Your world is a shadow, a reflection of what you feel and what you think. Your attitude will determine the conditions that appear to be outside of you.
In A Course in Miracles is says, "all in our world is of us."
Quantum theory says, "what we put our attention on we identify and as we identify, is as we see." The more we put our attention on an idea, the more the idea forms into a thing. And the more attention, the more concrete it becomes.
Deepak Chopra says, “we cannot have a relationship with anything we don't pay attention to.”
In Ho'ponopono, a concept that comes from the Huna Tradition, Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, a therapist, healed an entire ward of criminally insane patients by simply reviewing charts and forgiving himself for being in error.
He repeated: "Forgive me, I'm sorry, I Love you, Thank You” as he reviewed these charts. He never saw the patients, yet they healed and were released. The hospital was closed short time later.
The problem and the solution resides in the mind of the perceiver.
What do we do to teach our children the Law of Attraction? We simply ‘be the change that we wish to see in them’.

Well put! "The problem and the solution resides in the mind of the perceiver."
So much we can learn from!

Great post and a very good, thought provoking statement.
There are times, when as I watch our daughter grow and
face the challenges in her life, that I should
"be the change in myself that I see in her."
Living in the Now and having Fun are just two of the things I see
in her every day. This is something we all should do.
I watch her show caring, giving, and kindness to everyone.
Even those who do wrong by or to her. I see her mentally
work though the anguish of middle school and all it's peer
pressure, cliques and challenges. I see her work through it while
maintaining her self respect, confidence and pure compassion
for others. I see her come to us when she has difficulty, and at
other times I have her tell me thank you but she "can handle it."
I see her give to others so much and not expect anything in
return. Sometimes this is so much at her own expense that I
want to encourage her to stop. Yet I don't because of her strong
belief and will to do it.
Although the level of challenges we face as children and adults change,
the reality of the impact our emotions, beliefs and actions have on
our life does not. We can learn what we need to change from from
others, especially our children.
I am thankful everyday for our daughter, who is one of my biggest
teachers.
