It's All Good! The Trials and Tribulations of Parenting
Chesney, Scott
Exceptional Parent, v36 n6 p51-55 Jun 2006
In this article, the author, who has an internet self-help radio program called "Maximizing Life with Scott Chesney" on VoiceAmerica, describes the joys and healing his children brings him daily since his diagnosis with Foix-Alajouanine Syndrome. He realized that, after a tour of 15 countries researching alternative medicine and speaking and coaching people about maximizing their lives, it was time for him to practice what he was preaching about self-discovery. When audiences ask him about his greatest adventure, he responds, "The greatest adventure of them all...parenthood!" He describes how his children are his greatest teachers, teaching him much about himself, and in the process, healing him. He writes about the "amazing and wonderful" qualities of innocence, fearlessness, and unconditional love of children, and that every child is a healer. His children challenge him daily to live life more from the heart and teach him "how a life of simplicity is really the way to go for us." In conclusion, the author writes: "Whatever trials and tribulations evolve during the course of every given day, it's all good. Why? Because there is an opportunity to grow and learn more about ourselves in every moment and as parents, we are all blessed to have many of the moments filled with life's greatest teachers, children."
