Our children really are in tune with how and what we think. We are able to enjoy inside laughs and a knowing when they've done wrong which may drive them to tears without a word or look from you.
Once you realize they think like you, because we are all one with each other and God, you will see them avoid what you are uncomfortable with and attracted to those things and people whom you love.
Give your child the credit of their own mind. Allow them to feel and love as you do. Blocking this will only create a problem in your lives.
I watched a friend of mine and clicked about something and the child absolutely loved what we were loving as well. The parent took a different road on the same subject and we did not see eye to eye. The child suddenly had this longing to laugh with me again and I could see that they were pulling away. Our friendship is stronger than ever with both the mother and child but when differences happen, lovingly think of those whom you know are good but just may approach the end differently.
We all want to love and be loved. Expanding on the love felt for something or someone through meditation, thought and prayer creates more thoughts of the same. Enjoy your life and place self-esteem/ego aside. Often there is more love out there than can be imagined. Embrace your flow of love.
