Bringing in Good Kids: "The Golden Child Method" By Sally Huss


Bringing in Good Kids: "The Golden Child Method"



Today while sorting out my old stuff, I chanced upon an old printed copy of Bringing in Good Kids "The Golden Child Method" by Sally Huss. It is really great to read it again and I think it is awesome! I am posting it here just to share with all mothers around the world, especially expectant mothers. Here it is: 


Bringing in Good Kids: "The Golden Child Method"

Every expectant mother's dream is to have a beautiful, happy, healthy baby and raise a "good kid," one who will grow up to be a useful, caring, sharing, helpful, healthy, positive, productive human being. Cute drawing of a happy pregnant woman in a pink dress. Great picture for expectant mothers.An expectant mother wants to raise a good kid who will turn into a good adult. She wants the best -- the best for her child and in turn a child who will be best for the world. Mothers are high-minded and they should have what they want.
But, how to do this is the trick. Anyone who has raised a child knows that this is easier said than done. Most have the idea that you "bring up" a good kid. You start with whatever you receive and develop that child as best you can. Naturally, all babies appear "good" at birth. They are cute, cuddly and can do no wrong. Then, at some point in their development their selfish natures come into play and the disharmonies begin.
Far easier than "bring up" a good kid is "bringing in" one. There is a way to do this called the "Golden Child Method." There is, of course, no guarantee that there will not be some friction, some difficulties, but for the high-minded mother who uses this method, there will be ample rewards to know her efforts were worth it. What mother wouldn't want a Golden Child, a shiny penny, a sparkle-plenty for a kid?
This is how the Golden Child Method works. Happy drawing of an expectant mother.Once pregnant, an expectant mother must assume that what is growing inside of her is all ears, all eyes, all feeling. It is like a very alert and sensitive sponge. Everything given to it, it accepts without discrimination. It has no protection or screening process. It simply sops it up. It is totally vulnerable to its environment -- good or bad. And, it is vulnerable on all levels -- physical, mental, emotional and even etheric (the subtle or higher energy system.) In the Golden Child Method a woman must "go for the gold" on all levels.
Gold is the key word here. Gold is the highest and finest metal we have. It is like a little bit of sunlight, hardened into a form for us to hold in our hands. Happy drawing of expectant mother studying the sun.Gold is like the sun and the sun is great. Without the sun there would be no life on earth. It gives us life. The sun is like God and God is good (less one "O".) So, having a Golden Child is a very good thing indeed!
Now to the process -- going for the gold on all levels, which means going for the best, the highest, the finest, the greatest a woman can provide for her unborn child. Most expectant mothers are aware of the need for good nutrition during their pregnancy. They tend to eat better knowing that they are eating for two. The embryo in turn will take whatever it needs to build its own body and if nutrients aren't provided in abundance it will steal from the mother, robbing her body. Drawing of good food for an expectant mother.The expectant mother must, therefore, make sure all ingredients are provided and that they are of the highest quality. Quality was a factor in the building materials used by the three little pigs in their home constructions. Their choices made a big difference in what they built. The unborn baby needs the best possible raw materials to build its home, its body. So, the mother must feed her baby well even before it is born.
What else does an expectant mother feed her child before birth? She feeds her thoughts and the thoughts of those around her. They too must be golden. They must be positive, happy, joyful thoughts, and good ideas. The sponge will accept what it is given.Whimsical drawing of a television set.Thoughts come in the form of what people say, TV shows, newspapers, books, Internet information, plays, movies, etc. A mother must choose well. An expectant mother must choose her words and subject matter well when speaking, choose books by brilliant, inspired authors to read, and stay away from negative discussions, violent TV shows and movies, etc.
What else does this expectant mother feed her child before birth? Emotions. Feelings. A Golden Child, even while in the womb, needs happy, positive feelings. Music and poetry, books of art, museum visits, and walks in nature evoke good feelings fit for a king. By providing the king or queen within with royal emotions a mother will reap what she has sown. A future mother must feel the best that she can feel and her unborn child will feel it too, and become comfortable and in harmony with right feelings when born. Nothing is too good for a regal Golden Child.
What else does a mother feed her unborn child? Breath. Breath is life, and in the air that a future mother breathes are all of the subtle energies of a higher nature needed to nurture the spirit. Happy expectant mother in a pink dress.  Good picture for a pregnant woman .Not everyone knows that air is rich. It appears to be merely empty space around objects, but it is a very valuable warehouse of everything a person might need, such as courage, truthfulness, will power, creativity, love, faith, etc. A person only has to breathe it in and it is there! A woman may breathe in anything she wants for her child in the realm of qualities. When doing so, she must do it in conjunction with the heart -- breathing in the feeling of what she wants. By concentrating a few minutes a day on specific qualities, a woman can work miracles for her child. She plants the seeds she wants to grow and they will become elements in the garden of her child's nature.
The future child is always in the environment of its mother, completely naive, taking it all in. The environment must be the best, as golden as a mother can make it. A simple visualization exercise every morning and night will set the tone for her days and keep the importance of her task before her. Any image of gold that comes to mind may be used to give the idea of the finest and brightest. The rising sun with its purity, brightness and golden glow has the right quality. Beautiful drawing of a sunrise.This gold may be breathed in and imagined to permeate the whole being of the mother and child. As the gold fills the entire being of mother and child, it begins to spread outward into space. The mother may dwell for a few moments on what she wants for her child (qualities, health, happiness, etc.) and how much her child will benefit others by his or her brilliance. All is well that starts well and this will be a child that has started well.
One more thought on the feeding of this future Golden Child: in some countries animals such as geese are force-fed. An unborn child can also in a manner of speaking be force-fed. If there is something a mother particularly wants her child to excel in or to have an interest in she may concentrate some of her energies to supplying the information the child would need to accomplish this. For example, it might be to be a great scholar or writer. In this case the mother would feed the child by readying volumes of great literature. There are cases where very unattractive couples have created most beautiful children by simply concentrating on beauty. Great musicians, artists, poets, linguists, and scientist can be started along their paths very early by the help of a conscientious mother.Cute drawing of a new mother and child.
Once the child is born a mother's most important work is done. That does not mean she needs to lower her standards. To continue to nourish and educate her child in the best ways she knows how is, of course, a must. But, she too will have benefited by her golden ideals and work, and her own being, which is always growing and developing, will also be enriched by her efforts.
Bringing in a good kid is the most important thing a woman can do and only a woman can do it! Women hold the power because they determine the quality of the next generation. Hopefully, they will pick men of quality; create an environment of quality to nourish their unborn children in order to bare children of the highest quality -- good kids! Golden Children! And, the world will thank them for it.

THANK YOU SALLY HUSS!!

Love Language of A Child; "I LOVE ....."

Children is easy to please. Listen to what they love to do...

I love when school is out, and Mama comes to pick me up.
I love to twirl around very fast so my skirt flies out in a big circle.

I love to watch Papa shave and to stick my finger in his shaving cream.
I love to put my feet on top of Papa's and dance around the room.

When I blow out my birthday candles, I love for Mama to relight them so I can blow them out again.
I love when I'm walking with Mama and a grownup she doesn't know says "Hello," to me, and Mama is very surprised and asks, "Who is that? How do you know him? Does he work at your school?"

I love to breathe on a cold window and trace a heart in the mist with my nose.
I love the first days of spring when Mama says, "It's so beautiful today; let's eat outside." And she puts a cover on the table in the garden and we eat radishes and strawberries.

I love the sound of raindrops on my red umbrella.
I love when we brush our teeth at the same time and have a spitting contest.

I love when I stay at my grandparents' house and get to write things like, "I slept very late today because we watched a horror movie last night and Grandma forgot to tell me to brush my teeth."
I love when Papa makes pancakes and pretends to flip them over my head.

I love to try on Mama's lipstick.
I love the smell of my soft, old bunny. He smells like apples, licorice, soap, roses, Mama's perfume, soup, rice, toast, wax, wet dog, and especially, my warm, cozy bed in the middle of the night.

When I cross at the crosswalk, I love to step on just the white lines.
I love Mama's old tee-shirt, because it smells just like her.

I love to plant seeds and watch them grow.
I love to walk around the house in Mama's high heels.

I love writing my name on the first page of a brand new notebook.
I love to feel the wind against my hand when our car is going very fast.

I love to write "for Mama," using a different colour pencil for each letter.
I love to tuck my hair behind my ears so everyone can see the earrings Aunt Zara gave me.

I love it when Mama puts my hair in two braids and I look like an Indian princess.
I love keeping a picture of my dog in my desk at school and looking at it sometimes.

I love it when Mama writes letters and I get to put on the stamps.
I love to count how many people are riding in my car on the subway.

I love putting all my barrettes in my hair at the same time; the one with the butterfly, the one with the ladybug, the one with the ruby and the three little ones, blue, yellow and green.

I love when I've been sick and I'm almost better and Mama says, "I think I'd better keep you at home one more day, just to be on the safe side."

My daughter always loves it whenever she gets to help me press down my coffee press.
She loves it when I paint her nails.

The Secret Remedies to do when you are down or bored

The First Remedy
Drink one glass of apple juice. You must drink it so carefully that you can almost taste the very apple tree that made the apples that made the juice.

The Second Remedy
Plant a seed in good earth. You must do something sneaky to keep the seed safe.

The Third Remedy
Take a walk as far as you can. You must see something that you have never noticed before.

The Fourth Remedy
Feed a wild thing. You must make a solemn promise that you will always do everything you can to protect it from hunger and harm.

The Fifth Remedy
Write a cheerful letter to some dear soul. You must put something unexpected in the envelope.
The Sixth Remedy
Read in peace and quiet from a favourite book. You must find one special part of the book that is so wonderful that you feel like reading it again and again.

The Seventh Remedy
Dream of doing great things. You must think of one small, great thing you can do tomorrow.

A Little Brave Handicapped Girl

On 4 July 2007, I brought my youngest daughter to the neighbourhood playground. When I was watching her play there, I noticed a maid pushing a pram towards the playground. In the pram sat a little girl about 3 years old, I immediately noticed that the girl has deformed legs. What amazed me was that this girl moved around the playarea very fast on her own. She climbed, slided without any help. I pointed her to my daughter and told her how lucky she is to have healthy body. Another thing that knocked me is that parent should not exert too much pressure on our children, we should give them more play and fun as much as they are able to. As it is , it is very difficult nowadays to find space for our children to run about....

No one helps Unconscious, Bleeding Cabby...

On 5 July 2007, I read a newspaper report that for more than 2 hours, a cabby laid face up on a dirty grass patch, blood oozing from his mouth and nose. He had suffered a fractured skull and died from his injuries 2 days later. The saddest part is that despite being spotted by at least 3 different people that morning, no one helped him or alerted the police. A security guard who spotted the cabby said he didn't alert anyone as he thought that the cabby was drunk and was sleeping. A teacher from a school in the area and her colleague, who checked on the cabby from a distance, thought the same.After reading, I was appalled about the incident. Being a security guard, one should have the alertness to react on anything unusual and not rely on his assumption. One would expect the same from a school teacher and a school personnel, they are supposed to teach our children the values about helping people who are in needs. I am very disappointed that many people nowadays are becoming more selfish and less helpful. If we, as adults or parents were to behave in this manner, what kind of children are we bringing up? Parents, please think about this seriously.I remember one day when I was leaving a national library, I saw a group of people gathering around a malay lady who seemed to have fainted. A few community club personnels nearby were looking on while another lady was holding up the unconscious lady on the floor.I hesitated for a while whether I should go forward to help, afterall there were already so many people at the scene. Nevertheless, I walked forward and asked whether I could help in any way. I offered to send the lady home as I had parked my car nearby. A staff from the club told me we couldn't possibily lift the heavy lady and that they had already called the ambulance. They thanked me for my kind offer. I left feeling good that I have done something right. I went home and told my children about what had happened and hopefully they will do the same next time.

How To Nurture A Child To Realise His Potential

Yesterday, I attended a talk by a full-time counsellor at my children's school. Among many things covered in the talk, I will personally do better on a couple of things as a mother.

* Establish a warm, conflict-free relationship with your child
* Never label and criticise your child
* Teach your child moral values, not just teach them to be smart
* Encourage creativity and initiative in everyday experiences
* Use postive language and encouragement to develop self-esteem and self-confidence
