As a parent, I’m constantly intrigued by the inner workings of my son’s mind. His thoughts about the world, dreams, fears, and friendships often remain a mystery. There are moments I find myself yearning for a crystal ball to unveil his thoughts. Yet, I’ve realized that intuition, a force within us, surpasses any mystical device.

Intuition serves as the voice of my heart, the wisdom of my soul, and the culmination of my life experiences. It’s the innate ability to perceive without conscious reasoning. This instinct guides me in discerning right from wrong, safety from peril, and truth from falsehood.

And sometimes, it alerts me when he’s concealing something under his pillow.

The other day, I noticed a shift in his demeanour—avoiding eye contact, fidgeting nervously, and rushing to his room. He withdrew from conversation and play, exuding an air of unease and guilt.

Trusting my intuition, I discovered his cherished toy car broken into pieces. He had accidentally damaged it despite my warnings against rough play.

At that moment, my response wasn’t rooted in anger but disappointment. I aimed to engage him in a conversation, emphasizing the values of honesty, responsibility, and trust. I needed to convey unconditional love and care while imparting essential life lessons.

Yet, I also recognized the need to honour his privacy and emotions. Understanding his likely feelings of shame and fear of repercussions, I acknowledged his innocence as a child who had erred. He needed guidance and support, not judgment or punishment.

I resolved to await his approach, placing my faith in intuition, allowing him the space to confide in me and make amends. I chose to be a nurturing and empathetic parent, embracing intuition as my guiding compass.

This innate sense facilitates a deeper connection with my son, fostering understanding and love. It’s a profound tool in parenting, aiding in his growth and development.
