What wouldn’t parents do for their children? In addition to being responsible for them, we want to see them always happy and protect them from anything that can harm or cause sadness. No matter how difficult the situation we find ourselves in, our instincts drive us to do our best for and for them.
An example of how great the love of parents is for their children is the video that we will share with you today, in which a Syrian father teaches his daughter to laugh in the middle of a bombing , reminding us of the movie ‘Life is beautiful ‘.
Abdullah Abu Salva is a man who lives in the Syrian province of Idlib, where unfortunately it is an area of constant bombardment. However, despite this terrible situation, for this Syrian father, maintaining the happiness and well-being of his daughter are the most important thing .
We can see this in a video that has gone viral, in which we see him with Selva, his four-year-old daughter, inside the house, but it is much more than a simple video of a father and his daughter. It is a video in which we can see how in an act of love, the father plays with the little girl during those difficult moments .
Trying to protect her from the possible psychological harm that something like this can do to her, he invented a strategy to make her laugh: pretend that the bombings came from toy guns . Therefore, for the little girl the sounds of the bombardments were cause for laughter and not something to fear.
A recently displaced Syrian father Abdullah in Idlib taught a game to his 4-year-old daughter Selva: You should laugh when you hear a warplane.
Now entire family laughs to maintain the pretense, to keep her sipirits high amid a war

According to information from El Universal, Abdullah was interviewed by a medium in Turkey, where he stated the reasons why he decided to create this game to protect his daughter:
The children were going through a psychological crisis due to the intense bombardment. I thought of ways to turn this bombardment into a source of happiness. I told him that the sounds of the bombardment were coming from toy guns. And that is not to be scared, but to laugh. She believes the sounds of the bombardment are from toy guns. He is happy and playing. We don’t want any more attacks. We are happy living in a tent and feeding ourselves.
This video, which is tender and hard to watch at the same time, reminds us of the innocence of children , and how their joy is totally alien to the devastation and war, something that perhaps for her is normal in her day to day life. to the area where you live.
But also, in the purest style of ‘Life is beautiful’, it is undoubtedly a great proof of the strength and capacity we have as parents to protect our children , even in the most difficult moments for ourselves.
