I have to recognize that the demands of the education of children from the family have increased, these are other times, children are influenced by all kinds of information that reaches them via the internet, some decades ago parents did not have to deal with the technology that their children implemented, now everything has changed, and education in the family has taken greater value in these times.
This has motivated us parents to accelerate our interest in the proper development of our children, and thus work towards a much more conscious education, with another vision away from all those methods of authoritarianism, respect is obtained with positive actions that make children feel admiration for parents, without falling into the error of overprotection, many parents believe in severe punishment to their children even with violence, and this what makes everything ends up getting worse.
For many parents it seems easier to discipline their children with mistreatment, this is an action of disrespect to the dignity of a child, who may be disoriented and what they need is just love, to be listened to, to be taken into account, to be given their space in the family, if we as parents want our children to respect us we have to do the same with them, instill mutual respect, in this way they will have respect for any other person.
Someone could say, it is not an easy task, it is true, but, not impossible, besides they are our children, and they represent the future of the planet, and respect is the most required value by people today, and we have to start from our families, one of the attitudes that as a father and grandfather I have noticed in the children of my house is that when they are discouraged they begin to misbehave.
Giving love and affection to our children does not mean that we are being soft with them, we are just showing them that this is how we also like to be treated, a mutual respect, making them see the things they do wrong, and how they would feel if they were treated in the same way, that is, we would be applying the fundamental principle of kindness and firmness at the same time.
Every child is a diamond to be polished, with the greatest potential to be excellent citizens, this depends largely on parents with education in the family, it is a shared responsibility with educators, this is why in our hands lies the enormous responsibility to change and improve the world, let's start as soon as possible without wasting time, teaching mutual respect to our children.
We'll keep reading each other another time, since we are all on the same path in life.
