Parenthood. “In my own family, as I was always extremely busy, my husband, Mr Winterspoon, acted as a ‘ray station’ between me and my three sons. He will tell them where I was, what I was doing and why , and what my feelings were.

Children’s lives will be determined by how parents live.
“The love we shower on our children becomes sustenance for their whole lives. It’s fine just to be simple and honest. We at times make mistakes, become overwhelmed, or lose our temper. What is most important, however, is, we always make a wholehearted effort. Children grow up watching their parents. It is not the parents’ words that children hear. No matter what wonderful things parents may say, if our words are not accompanied by action, children will never listen. Children’s lives will be determined by how parents live. The parents’ love and way of life will, like magma beneath the earth’s crust, form the innermost core of children’s heart and become a source of energy to support the rest of their lives.
“We Resolved to multiply our love for our children.“
“The more children we have, the more challenges we face interacting with each of them. In this regard, it is important to change our usual thinking. For example, if we have four children, instead of thinking we need to divide our affection into four parts, we instead resolve to multiply it four times.”
When parents give their all, children respond in kind.
“We do anything for our children’s sake. As parents, our love is vaster than the sky and deeper than the ocean. Our feelings are definitely communicated to children, though it takes time. Nichiren Daishonin states: “For example, when a chick pecks its egg from inside, not only does its mother peck likewise, but both peck at the same place. This is because their thoughts and feelings are responsive” (Gosho zenshu, p. 810). When parents do their very best, their children respond accordingly. The parents’ love and compassion will no doubt elicit a response in their children, bringing out from their lives the vibrant energy for growth.”
ASSUMPTA : It’s beautiful to see the dedication and love parents have for their children. The analogy of multiplying affection rather than dividing it is a powerful mindset shift, and the idea that children respond to their parents’ love and compassion resonates deeply.
The passage also emphasises the profound impact parents have on their children’s lives through their actions and way of living. It underscores the importance of authenticity, effort, and consistency in parenting, as children absorb and are deeply influenced by the behaviours and values demonstrated by their parents.
I’m really excited to chat with you about parenting and how teamwork and communication play a vital role.

A dialogue discussing effective teamwork and communication in parenting:
Assumpta: Hi Kelly! I’m really excited to chat with you about parenting and how teamwork and communication play a vital role.
Kelly Rowland: Hi Assumpta! Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more. Being a parent requires a lot of coordination and effective communication between partners. My husband and I have found that being on the same page and communicating openly about our parenting goals has helped us tremendously. How about you?
ASSUMPTA: Oh, absolutely. Making it a priority to have regular check-ins to discuss children’s needs, schedules, and any challenges are important. It’s crucial for parents to be a united front in their parenting approach.
KELLY: I completely understand. We’ve also found that dividing tasks based on our strengths and interests has helped us work together more efficiently.
ASSUMPTA: How did you and your husband find this strategy that works for you?
Kelly Rowland: Well! We’ve learned to delegate tasks based on what each of us enjoys and is good at. For example, I might take the lead on organising our children’s activities, while my husband Mr Weatherspoon focuses on managing their academic progress. It helps us balance our responsibilities and support each other.
Assumpta: That sounds like a great approach! It’s so important to play to each other’s strengths. Another thing I’ve found helpful is to actively listen to each other’s concerns and perspectives without judgement. It fosters trust and strengthens our partnership as parents. Do you and your husband practise active listening as well?
Kelly Rowland: Absolutely, Assumpta. Active listening is key in any relationship, especially in parenting. We make sure to give each other the space to express our thoughts and feelings without interruption. It helps us understand each other better and find solutions together.
ASSUMPTA: That’s fantastic to hear, Kelly. It’s clear that effective teamwork and communication are fundamental to successful parenting. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and experiences with me.
Kelly Rowland: Of course, Assumpta! It was great exchanging ideas with you. Here’s to continued growth and collaboration in our parenting journey!
ASSUMPTA;“As parents, our mere presence gives children great strength. I ask parents to pour love upon their children like the sun nurturing sunflowers. This is because people can live powerfully for the rest of their lives with the energy of the love they receive in their childhood.” Thank you for joining me for today’s dialogue, Kelly. It’s been such a pleasure discussing the importance of effective teamwork and communication in parenting with you.
Kelly Rowland: Thank you, Assumpta! It’s been a wonderful conversation, and I’ve really enjoyed sharing thoughts and experiences with you.
ASSUMPTA: As parents, let’s continue to nurture our children with love and support, knowing that our presence alone can give them the strength to thrive.
Kelly Rowland: Absolutely, Assumpta. Our children are our greatest treasures, and it’s our privilege to guide them with love and care. Let’s keep spreading sunshine in their lives and watching them blossom into amazing individuals.
Assumpta: Agreed! Wishing you and your family all the best, Kelly. Let’s stay in touch and continue supporting each other on this beautiful journey of parenthood.
