One of the most important things for parents to do is to learn to trust their own intuition. Your feelings tell you when you are on course or off course in your behavior with your children. When things feel right inside, then you know that you are being a truly loving parent, and when they feel wrong inside, you know you are out of alignment with what is in your highest good and your children's highest good.
I remember my mother telling me that she used to put her fist in her mouth to stop herself from crying and from picking me up when I was an infant and cried. She had read in Dr. Spock that babies should not be picked up when they cry, that it is good for their lungs to cry, and that she would spoil me if she picked me up. But her insides were telling her the opposite - that babies cry when they need food, changing, or love. It is so sad that she followed Dr. Spock instead of her own inner knowing.
Now research has proven that babies who are not picked up when they cry become more dependent and insecure than babies who are kept with their mothers. In other countries, babies sleep with their parents until they no longer want to, feeling safe all night. In our country, most babies are alone at night, some crying themselves to sleep. This is not only sad, it is not healthy for the baby.
So the first thing your child needs from you is to trust your inner knowing rather than any book you read.
Your child needs your loving presence - not your busy preoccupied presence. For your children to feel important to you, they need to feel you fully present with them - reading to them daily, playing with them, holding and comforting them, and listening to them.
Your children need for you to create a healthy environment for them by feeding them healthy food, restricting screen time - TV, computer, video games - and making sure they play outdoors and get enough exercise. They need your encouragement to develop their hobbies and interests. They need you to try natural remedies before resorting to drugs for illness, so that you don't set them up for more illness with the side effects of drugs.
They need for you to be a good role model of self-care. Children need to see their parents taking full responsibility for their own feelings instead of being victims and blaming others. With this role modeling, they will also learn to take full responsibility for their own feelings. Learning and practicing the Inner Bonding process that we teach will support you in becoming this loving role model for your children.
Children also need you to be a role model for care of the environment. My daughter told me that my 3-1/2 year-old grandson got very upset with the checker at the market for using a plastic bag. "No, no plastic bags! It's bad for the environment!" he told the checker. By role modeling caring for our planet, we can raise children who are much more conscious of taking care of our environment.
Your children need to see you being connected with a spiritual Source of love, peace and wisdom in order to naturally connect with their own higher power. By developing your spiritual connection, they can learn to have their own.
What do your children really need from you? They need you to learn to be all you can be so they have the role modeling and permission to be all they can be.
All I Really Need Is You David Cook
It can be quite intimidating with all the technical lingo that you will find when looking for web hosting. It can be hard to determine what feature that are really necessary to get. Do you really need unlimited bandwidth? Do you really need 1500GB of disk storage? Probably not. With just a little bit of knowledge you can be much smarter when buying hosting, and not pay a lot for bells and whistles you really do not need. A good rule of thumb is to not spend any time on any web host if you find their homepage confusing. After all, the homepage is their primary marketing tool, and if they screw that up there is no saying what they will do with the things your will rely on to have your page hosted.
Support
What every good host should offer you is without a doubt good support. It does not really matter if this is via email, chat or phone. The important part is if the support answers quickly and if they can actually help you and fix your problems. So try them out – send them a few questions. If they can't answer you before you're a customer, then don't become a customer. Just as important as the actual support the host provides is the support the community can provide. Any good hosting company will have a support forum or wiki where users can help each other. Be sure to check these resources out before deciding on any host.
Bandwidth & Disk Storage
Bandwidth is the amount of data you are allowed to move to and from your hosting account, it is usually counted in Giga Bytes per month (GB/month). This includes all the data you upload to your web site and the data each of the sites visitors needs to download to their browser to see the site. Normal web sites need a very small amount of Bandwidth. Photos, big images, videos and big files (such as software downloads) take a lot of bandwidth, other files requires basically no Bandwidth even of you have quite a popular site. A couple of GB/month is more than enough for most sites.
Storage is the amount of data you are allowed to store on the web hosting company's servers, it is usually counted in either Giba Bytes (GB) or Terra Bytes (TB). Just as with Bandwidth you do not need very much unless you are going to host a huge amount of photos and if you use to much you need to pay for the extra space you use. 10 GB or so is more than enough for most sites. So don't be sucked in by the web hosting providers marketing and buy a hosting plan that has much more Storage and Bandwidth than you will ever possibly consume. Why pay for things you don't use?
Control Panel
You absolutely need a control panel for your hosting, and it comes with 99% of all hosting you will find. A control panel is simply a web page you log into and there you find all the options you need to control your hosting. It is in the control panel you set up new databases, install programs (such as Wordpress) etc. The most common control panel used by web hosting providers is cPanel.
Technical Features
If the hosts you are considering have a good price, good support, a control panel and the bandwidth and storage you need then there are loads of more features the hosts lists to think about. This is the most overwhelming part, and you can ignore most of it. If you are going to develop the site yourself make sure that the web host you are considering has the technical features you need to run your site (such as MySQL databases and PHP5 support). If you will have somebody else develop your site make sure to check with the developer or designer that the host you are considering has the features they need to run your site. One nice feature that many hosts have is one-click installs of various programs, for example the Wordpress blogging software. So if you are going to use any such program you just need to click on one link in your hosting control panel to install it. That will save you a lot of time.
