It's All About Integrity

The angels say that the years preceding and immediately following the millennium are devoted to helping us learn about integrity. In other words, our collective current life mission is to be true to ourselves. It also means being true to others, and that includes our children.

A decade or so ago, we psychologists warned parents not to confuse friendship with parenting. We lectured parents against having heart-to-heart discussions with their children lest they "parentify" their youngsters (meaning giving the children information that they were too young to handle).

Yet, the new millennium children require emotional and conversational intimacy with others. They thrive on honesty! 

If a Child of the Light feels that something is wrong, for example, in her parent's marriage, it's destructive for the parents to cover up this fact. It's so much healthier for parents to openly discuss the situation (using terms and phrases that are age-appropriate to the child), than to have the child believe she is crazy for having feelings that run counter to what her parents are saying.

Message from the Angels

The angels have very strong opinions about these children, partly because the angels feel protective of them. Angels guard Children of the Light to ensure that their mission is completed. They say:

"Listen well, parents of the '90s. You, too, have an exceedingly important mission to fulfill. You must ensure that your children remain intuitive and that they stay very close to nature. Don't push them to succeed at the expense of losing their soul purpose, for our purpose is our guiding force, and without direction, your children will feel lost, alone, and afraid.

"So much better for you parents to focus your children's attention on spiritual studies, as this is their true nourishment that will ensure their growth and survival. 

"We angels are here to help you parent, and we won't interfere or get in the way. Simply allow us to cast a new light on difficult situations, a task we complete with joy in our hearts, simply by your open invitation for us to heal. 

"Do not ever feel that God doesn't hear your prayers, for He sends us to your side the instant you call."

I believe that the angels are extra-concerned with our children. In a way, after all, our children are God's Earth angels who are here for an important mission.
