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.
Our parents are usually our heroes, what heroes do we want to be for our children?
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.
