Let's be parents present
Hi friends today I wanted to share with you a reflection I made about parenthood and our importance in the emotionality of our children.
While I was having lunch with my co-workers, one of them spoke about an act that his son had at school that he could not attend, so another of my co-workers told us that when he was little
he participated in a activity at school,
at the end of the activity the parents had to enter the room, so all the parents entered and embraced their children. but His parents did not attend,
in laughter he said "it was horrible, I did not participate in any activity of that kind since them"
How many years have passed and that story is still present in your life, although he laughed, it must have been a difficult moment for him,I think he has a different point of view about parenthood in those type of events.
Currently there is a large family where parents had to work and children's time should be divided between the house and the place for their daily care, the accelerated pace of modern life and the inclusion of technological equipment considerably reduces the quality time that some parents pass with their children.
Pay bills, prepare meals, wash clothes, work, phone calls are activities that constantly flood our time, stress and pressure of daily life shorten our day, sometimes we have to stop and reflect on how we live our lives with our children.
Human beings relate to the environment through perception, memory, attention (the so-called cognitive instruments) and emotions, These functions always work in groups.
When we are children, we are always discovering filled with stimuli and emotions, finding answers from our environment and relating to new realities. In that world of discovering and understanding with innocence, we hope to receive affection, the daily interaction with our parents allow us to communicate more effectively, talk to them without fear, with the confidence that a person who always listens to us with attention and spends his time, we feel important, listened and it is easier to understand the environment.
Some children can be very shy and require even more attention, communication and relationship with parents is essential to open the way to the world. Many times parents focus more attention on aspects related to knowledge and rationality, immersed in school education and leaving aside the emotional aspect so crucial in our lives. The actions and decisions we making are closely related to our feelings and guided through the emotions, that influence our thoughts and our life.
I consider that it should evaluate the inclusion of aspects focused on the development of emotional intelligence in education of our children
Parents are models and guides, what we teach in the first years of life to our children, will accompany them in the rest of their lives, that is why we must be present, make them feel loved, take care of them, dedicate them quality time. , share their discoveries, educate them in values, understand that they are full of emotions and that sometimes they do not understand the environment, that is why we must accompany them, love them and help them learn to better manage their emotions and create better paths. We can use lunch and dinner to reinforce relationships, eat together, talk with them, explore their doubts, their joys and sorrows.
I know that the world and life sometimes become a little complicated as times get shorter, but we have to make the effort , we have to make quality time with our children, there are no absent parents who are present.
Thanks for reading, I would love to hear your opinion about the time shared between parents and children or your experience as a parent or child.
When I was a child I always wanted to have super powers, now that I am an adult and I have a 4 month old baby, I am the kind of super hero that I should be, not the one I wanted but the one I should be.
The loving father but not consenting to bad things, the protective father but not overprotective, the father who exemplifies but not bad advice, the father who shows his son how hard life is, but is willing to show him the way correct so that his steps are firm even in the unstable terrain.
I always look at your baby when you take him to the office, he's so full of life and energy. With that imperactivity that characterizes every child. I ask God that Tobias (my son) is that healthy and full of energy when he is Eduardito's age.
Now I know what kind of hero I should be for my son, not one with super powers, no. One that is there for him, day and night no matter what, and that my back is his protector of every dagger that wants to dig into him, and my arms his wall of contention so he can grow up healthy.
Greetings my dear friend.
Beautiful words @tatorey I know that you will be the best superhero for Tobias and that you will accompany him to discover that the world is an adventure, that Tobias will be a child full of energy and smiles.
The love for a son is the power that a SuperDad needs
I was that child growing up! I, unlike your friend had no option in participating in activities. Most of the time my parents would put me in activities knowing they would not be able to attend. Today with my own children I try to make a point that they see me supporting and attending their activities, of course life happens where it prevents me from attending some things. This was a great read!!
Hi @jerroldcox thanks, I really appreciate that you have taken part of your time to read me, sometimes parents take care of their children according to what they consider a priority and that often relates to aspects of their childhood. I also try to attend my son's activities, I enjoy doing it a lot, I think that gives me something of childhood;)
Interesting @marglys, educational and thoughtful topic, when we are children in events like these the presence of parents is worth more than millions of spectators
That's right @emiliocabrera, we always look for them in the crowd. thanks I'm glad you liked the publication
