Santa Clarita life coach Alex Urbina discussed the benefits of raising conscious children during a recent “My Conscious Dad” show on KHTS AM-1220.

If you are noticing your child constantly blaming others for situations they find themselves in, or running away from their problems, there may be ways for you to help them have a more conscious perspective.

“A conscious child is someone who is highly aware of their own thoughts, their own emotions and their own fears,” Urbina explained. “They’re really in touch with themselves.”

Children can learn how to be more conscious from trial and error, reading books and their parents, according to Urbina.

Urbina encourages parents looking to become more conscious to go into what he called “grandparent mode” while parenting their own children.

The grandparent mode, according to Urbina, is a very confident and assured parenting approach. By realizing that you don’t need to be controlling to have an impact on your child’s life, you often have more opportunities to inspire and empower them.

Urbina also recommends parents to empower their children by reminding them that they have the ability to speak up for themselves, the courage to confront others and the option to walk away from situations that they could easily fall victim to.

“When you learn how to be more mindful and aware … you start to move into different levels of consciousness,” said Urbina.

These different levels of consciousness can help your child become more present and more proactive, which will ultimately help them make more meaningful choices, according to Urbina.

One of the key lessons that teens are taught in Urbina’s training classes is that the world is not just happening to them. He emphasizes that through shifting their perspectives, kids can empower themselves to create more positive outcomes within their lives.

“It doesn’t matter what level you’re at,” Urbina added. “It’s never too late to learn to start to grow so you can make those course corrections and adapt yourself to really set your kids up to win.”
