Real story: How teaching my son to ask his angels helped him make his own healthy choice – and how you can do the same.

You and Your Children Are Deeply Connected

You and your children share a very strong bond. You are connected to them and they are connected to you.

When you learn Inner Guidance Communication, you can ask your Divine Mind about your child just like you ask about yourself.

• What foods are good for them right now?
• What supplements do they need and how much?
• What do they need around bedtime to feel safe and calm?
• What is really behind this behavior or symptom?

Your child is also connected to their own Divine Mind. You can teach them to get their own answers too.

The Story: “Your Angels Say It’s Not Good For You Right Now”

When my children were young, I taught them to talk to their angels. I wanted them to know they had guidance with them all the time, not just Mom.

One day at lunch, my son asked for a specific food. He really wanted it.

I paused and checked in with my own guidance, as I always do. My intuition said that food wasn’t good for him in that moment. It wasn’t about forever, just right now.

So I said to him, “Sweetheart, your angels say it’s not good for you right now.”

He looked at me for a second. Then he closed his eyes, got very quiet, and listened. After a moment he opened his eyes and said, “You’re right, Mom. My angel says it’s not good for me right now.”

He chose something else on his own, happily. No fight. No power struggle.

Because he got the answer himself, not just from Mom saying no.

What This Teaches Us About Intuitive Parenting

Intuitive parenting is not about being a perfect parent. It’s about teaching your children that they have their own inner compass.

When you practice this, you:

• Reduce power struggles – when they get the answer themselves, they own it
• Empower your children – they learn they can ask for help beyond just you
• Get clear guidance for their health – what foods, supplements, routines, and emotional support they need in this season
• Stay connected as they grow – your bond goes beyond words, because you are listening on a deeper level

Food intolerance testing, menu planning, bedtime routines, emotional release – all of these can be guided by your Divine Mind and even their Divine Mind.

How to Practice Intuitive Parenting

1. For you, about them: Before meals, homework, or bedtime, pause and ask, “What does [child’s name] need right now for their highest good?” Write down the first thing you get.
2. Teach them a simple method: Have them close their eyes, place a hand on their heart, and ask their angels or inner guidance, “Is this good for me right now?” Teach them to notice if their body feels light/expansive (yes) or tight/heavy (no).
3. Use it for food: “Is this snack good for my body right now?” This is the foundation of the food intolerance work I teach – learning to muscle test for yourself and your family.
4. Trust what they get: Even if you would have chosen differently, honor their answer when possible. This builds their confidence in their own guidance.
