If a child is frequently exposed to negative situations or hears
negative words and hurtful remarks from authority figures, such as:
Why can't you be more like your brother/sister?
Why are you so stupid?
You are so clumsy.
You always make me angry.
You are so useless.
What’s wrong with you?
Go away and don't disturb me.
You are so lazy.
Negative words and hurtful remarks will permeate a child's
innocent and vulnerable mind and start to form a limiting belief
structure. A child's mind is like a sponge and it just absorbs
everything in, the positives as well as the negatives. The sad truth
is that children are exposed to more negatives than positives.
Often, they are blamed, put to shame, punished, shouted at,
criticized, belittled, and compared to others, by the authority figures
around them.
BACKGROUND OF THE GOULDING PROCESS
This process was originally developed by Joane Goulding to help
her young child, Michelle, who had cerebral palsy with an IQ of
approximately 45 and speech impairment caused by dyspraxia.
She refused to allow Michelle to be sedated and housed in an
institution due to Michelle's unsociable and disruptive behaviour.
The dream of seeing her daughter live a happy, dignified and
independent life, relentlessly led her to look for alternatives as she
believed in the power of the mind. Her dream came true and she
developed a process. which was so simple to use, yet so powerful
that she calls it ‘creating miracles’.
Through this process, she was able to give her daughter, Michelle,
the most precious gift, The Gift of Unconditional Love. She gave
her daughter Michelle, The BELIEF that she is loved….she is
lovable…..she can walk….she can talk…..and that life is happy.
She gave Michelle, a deep subconscious belief, that "I am OK",
regardless
of
the
circumstances
around
her.
What if you as parents, could instill these powerful positive beliefs
within your child’s mind? What if your child could view their world
