When we configure the rooms of our children, usually we don’t think it over from the aspect of Feng Shui. However, we can help the children a lot in their growth, their well-being, learning etc., if we consciously do to this on purpose. The 7th life area of Bagua map is connected to Creativeness/Children.
As usual, it is still true: the certain space has to be defined for the personality of whom lives there. A room of a child is multifunctional: this is the place for learning (home office), for sleeping (bedroom) and for relaxation (game-room) also. At the same time, the size of it is small compared to these, so we have to pay attention to how we furnish it.
Usually the wishes of children matter when choosing colors. But it’s worth to figure out why that certain color is liked. It’s not the same if he/she saw it somewhere else and this is why it is wished or he/she desires this color indeed. The latter tells so much about. Physiological effects of colors prevail in the children room also, it’s worth to harmonize this with the habitus of the child. For example, the energizing effect of red can be good for a shy, retreating child, but it is not a clever choice in the case of a hyperactive child. Yellow color helps concentration and learning, which can be useful especially before exams.
It frequently happens that two children share one room which is solved by the parents with a bunk bed. The upper part should be given to the more extrovert child. If one of the parents raises child(ren) alone, put the missing parent’s photo in the children room (only if the child has no negative memories attached to it!). If it is not possible, we can use Feng Shui symbols instead of it. For example, a picture of a lion in the case of a missing father, a moon shaped object in the case of a missing mother.
If a baby has been desired for a long time, some changes maybe help. Let’s examine our way of life: Are we always in a hurry? Are there programs after programs and we hardly have time for ourselves? Are we always working overtime, sometimes doing it even at the weekend? If so, it’s time to slow down and prepare for the role of a mother. We have to create the space for what we desire, so look at the future nursery: if it is a lumber room right now then clean it and make a real room of it, even if not the crib will be there temporarily. The mother marks of the kitchen should be examined also for its helping role.
