Have you ever wondered if empathy and caring care are really positive and will help your children to be empathetic and caring? I assure you that yes, that everything comes, that what is sown is harvested. Someday your children will worry about you and your well-being as you take care of them with love.
I know that raising respecting our children is sometimes exhausting, that we think that so much love and dedication take time to bear fruit, that it seems that empathy and patience are ungrateful when other parents, more than "order and command" get children who They do not open their mouths and do not replicate.
I am in favor of freedom, consensus and mutual respect, as well as of colecho, attachment and prolonged breastfeeding. I have already told you, too, on other occasions that there are many things that I let my son do, but as he grows up, I realize that I have succeeded in trusting him and respecting his emotional needs.
That's why I want to tell you something that happened to me last night with my son that is sure to inspire you. I'm sure that someday your children will know how to care about you and take care of your well-being.
I'm on the beach, in Cabo de Gata, where I've been vacationing since I was a child. The same gang from when we were children is still here, with many of their own children. But every year, at least one night, we meet, make a barbecue on the beach and go out at night until many.
Yesterday I took my preteen son to a friend's birthday for dinner and then I was with little desire to go to the beach and to the party. He insisted that I leave, that I would have a good time and that there were friends who needed to talk to me. The grandparents and my brother were at home so I really had no excuse not to go out. I left him in bed, reading.
And then he asked me to leave his phone on in the form of vibration so he wouldn't wake anyone, in case we needed to talk. And I left. My house is five minutes walking from the huge beach and the town is very small.
It was half past two when he called me. I just wanted to know if I was having a good time and that I would leave the phone on in case I wanted to go back before the others, alone, and so I would be attentive to my arrival to know that it was going well.
Well, this has been a lesson that life has given me: someday your children will care about you, that you have a good time and that you get home safe. The empathy and care you are offering them teach them to be, themselves, careful and empathetic.
