LESSON 1: Part 1
Babies through 2Yr Olds
Since you became aware that you were pregnant, you might have created a harmonious
situation with them while they are still inside of you. Thinking harmonious thoughts,
feeling as peaceful, blissful, in flow as possible. Radiating love.
Once they are born you can expand your practice of relating harmoniously with them.
The 1 Rule in action is your primary focus in terms of harmony with your child for the
next three years (approximately).
As you know, ‘Agreement’ is what the 1 Rule is about.
However, when we are dealing with babies, toddlers and 2yr olds our role in the
agreement is different.
Our role with them is to do the work. It is up to us, the adults to find harmony with our
little ones. They are finding harmony with their lives, their developmental blueprints.
We do this by becoming used to finding what is agreeable to us and seems to be
agreeable to our little ones. They go along with it. They don’t resist. They don’t cry.
If you are not used to doing this, it make take trial and error to start with, but you will
eventually become skilled at this.
It will give you time to become dedicated to finding solutions that are agreeable to all
involved. Their cooperation or non-cooperation will help, as a clear guideline. It
becomes a habit, a good habit that leads to harmony.
One thing to keep in mind as you are forming this habit, you never have to agree to
something that you do not want to do. If you think about it enough, or even better, ask
your inner being, you’ll find something that feels okay for you to do and you can tell that
you child is comfortable with your choice.
I had no background of being able to do this. I didn’t even know it was a ‘thing.’ But it is
what felt best to me. It never felt good when I did not follow this practice, when I tried to
force my kids to do as I wished, without considering what they wanted. Now I know it is a
‘thing.’ It is following the 1 Rule, finding agreement, finding harmony.
I am using the age of 3yrs old as a guideline. It is not meant strictly. As soon as your
child is able to accept easily that you might need something to be different than what
they want, then you can go for agreement with them. They can relate to, “Just a minute.”
They can relate to, “I need a drink of water before we go.”
Then you can point out, “You are important and I am important and we both deserve to
have a good time. So let’s figure out how we can do that.” Then you can make a
suggestion, unless they come up with something that sounds good.
Questions
1. What are some of the harmonious thoughts you might have about the baby growing
in you?
2. Notice situations between parents and their babies. Especially look for harmony in
action. Choose at least one situation to write about.
3. Think of situations and various ways you might deal with them harmoniously. Write
these as a regular practice, maybe daily, or record them, or draw them, or act them out,
alone or with friends. Do something creative with them. This gives power and emphasis
to what you want.
