Autonomous children, happy children

Autonomous children, happy children. Parents create autonomous children when they teach them what needs to be done, in the way they believe to be correct, enabling them for life and not abandoning them to their fate. There is no need to worry about when to release them, as they will walk on their own feet to do everything they were taught. When charging, check what was assimilated and complete with the guidelines that you think were missing. However, keep this in mind: the basis for developing autonomy is teaching your children the values ​​you believe are correct and establishing appropriate rules. And also make it clear what you expect from them. Parents capable of educating their children know how to give them responsibility, they know how far they can demand from them, and they do not demand more or less than that; they do not extrapolate or omit themselves and have the authority to impose the necessary discipline. If you want to be a good parent, you must—and can—learn to do all of these things. A couple is trained in the task of being a father and mother through a lot of dialogue, a lot of interest, a lot of patience and determination. The result is always worth it. Parents have to have authority. She is conquered with respect, positioning, value and determination. Children recognize someone in authority and obey the voice command. Leaving children free to do whatever they want makes them insecure, aimless and unhappy. If there is no one to guide and control them, children, in general, are lost, they don't know what to do. When this happens, the path is open that would possibly lead their children to become problem children. The bible says that our children are like arrows in the hand of the archer. You need to know where you throw them, because if you throw them at random, without aiming, they will end up anywhere and, in general, never go where you would like.

the knot of affection

It was a meeting at a school. The director encouraged parents to support the children, talking about the need for their presence with their children. Even knowing that most fathers and mothers worked outside the home, she was convinced of the need to find time for their children.

It was then that a father, in his simple way, explained that he left home so early, that his son was still sleeping and that, when he returned, the little one, tired, had already fallen asleep. He explained that he couldn't stop working that much, as it was getting harder and harder to support his family. And he told how it made him anxious, for practically only spending time with his son on weekends.

The father then spoke of how he tried to redeem himself by going to kiss the child every night when he got home. She said that with each kiss, he tied a small knot in the sheet, so that her son would know that he had been there. When he woke up, the boy knew his father loved him and had been there. And the knot was the means of binding themselves to each other.

That story moved the principal of the school, who, surprised, found that boy to be one of the best and most well-adjusted students in the class. And it made her reflect on the infinite ways that parents and children have to communicate, to make themselves present in each other's lives. The father found his simple but efficient way to make himself present and, most importantly, to make his son believe in his presence.

For communication to take place, children need to 'listen' to the heart of their parents or guardians, as feelings speak louder than words. It is for this reason that a kiss, a hug, a caress, coated with pure affection, cure even headaches, scratches, jealousy of the brother, fear of the dark, etc.

A child may not understand certain words, but he knows how to register and record a gesture of love, even if it is a simple knot.

And you? Have you been tying a knot in your child's sheet?

And you? What are you teaching your child? Shall we reflect?

10 commandments of homework 

1 – Never do the homework for your child or allow others to do it (grandparents, maid, older brother, friend). Be clear that the lesson is your child's and not yours, therefore, he has a commitment and not you. Let him do his thing and go do something of your own. He needs to feel that the moment of the task is his.

2 – Organize an appropriate space and time for him to do his tasks.

3 – Exchange ideas or formulate questions to help with reasoning, but only if requested. Don't give answers, ask questions, provoke reasoning.

5- Always be disciplined with the study time, remembering: quantity is not quality;

4 – Say “try again” in front of the complaint. Redo. Start over. If your child realizes he made a mistake, encourage him to seek the right or a new answer. Demonstrate with examples that you usually do this. in this case, the previous items are valid to reinforce this one.

6 – Make the mistake constructive. Making mistakes is part of the process of learning (and living!). Converse, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our mistakes and learning from them. Tell stories that are related to misconceptions.

7 – Remember that two stages are part of school tasks: the lessons and the study to review the contents. School responsibilities do not end when the student finishes homework. Deepening and reviewing the contents is fundamental.

8 – Don’t mix things up. Lesson and studying are school related tasks. Washing dishes, cleaning the room and putting away toys are household chores. the two are works, however, of different natures. Do not link one job to another, and only assess domestic obligations.

9 – Do not judge the nature, difficulty or relevance of the homework. Homework is part of a process that started in the classroom and must end there. If you don't understand or don't agree, go to the school and find out. Your judgment can demotivate your child and even disqualify the teacher and, consequently, the homework and its goals.

10 – Demonstrate that you trust your child, respect his initiatives and limits and know his possibilities. create a climate of camaraderie and awareness in the family, but be sure to set limits and be strict with relapses and irresponsibility.

Children are like ships

When we look at a ship in port, we imagine that it is in its safest place, protected by a strong anchor. Little do we know that it is there in preparation, supply and provision to launch into the sea, the destination for which it was created, meeting its own adventures and risks. Depending on what the force of nature has in store for him, he may have to deviate from the route, chart other paths or look for other ports. You will certainly return strengthened by the learning acquired, more enriched by the different cultures covered. And there will be many people in the port, happy waiting for you. So are the SONS. These have in the PAIS their safe harbor until they become independent. For more security, feelings of preservation and maintenance that they may feel with their parents, they were born to sail the seas of life, take their own risks and live their own lives. adventures. Certain that they will take the example of their parents, what they learned and knowledge from school – but the main provision, in addition to material, will be within each one: THE CAPACITY TO BE HAPPY. We know, however, that there is no ready-made happiness, something that is kept in a hiding place to be donated, transmitted to someone. The safest place a ship can be is in port. But he wasn't made to stay there. Parents also think they are the safe haven for their children, but they cannot forget the duty to prepare them to sail at sea. inside and find their own place, where they feel safe, certain that they will have to be, in another time, that port for others. beings. Nobody can trace the destiny of their children, but they must be aware that, in their luggage, they must carry inherited VALUES, such as HUMILITY, HUMANITY, HONESTY, DISCIPLINE, GRATITUDE AND GENEROSITY. Children are born from parents, but they must become CITIZENS OF THE WORLD. Parents may want their children to smile, but they cannot smile for them. They can wish and contribute to their children's happiness, but they cannot be happy for them. HAPPINESS CONSISTS IN HAVING AN IDEAL AND IN THE CERTAINTY OF TAKING FIRM STEPS ON THE PATH OF THE SEARCH. Parents should not follow in their children's footsteps, nor should they rest on what the parents have achieved. Children must follow from where their parents arrived, from their port, and, like ships, depart for their own conquests and adventures. But for that, they need to be prepared and loved, in the certainty that “WHO LOVES EDUCATES”. “HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO RELEASE THE TIRES!”

The Lesson of the Butterfly

One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon. A man sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that small hole. Then it seemed like she stopped making any progress. It looked like it had gotten as far as it could go, and it couldn't go any further. The man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and cut off the rest of the cocoon. The butterfly then came out easily. But its body was withered and it was small and its wings were crumpled. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Nothing happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. She was never able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and willingness to help, did not understand was that the tight cocoon and the effort required for the butterfly to pass through the small opening it was God's way of getting fluid from the butterfly's body to its wings so that it would be ready to fly once it was free of the cocoon. Sometimes effort is just what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, he would leave us like the butterfly. We weren't going to be as strong as we could have been. We could never fly... May life be an eternal challenge, because only then will flying be really possible.
