Does your little one reject your help and wants to do everything alone? Expressions like "I don't like this!", "Not you, get out!" or "I know how to do it myself!" are a constant in your vocabulary? Welcome to this new phase of child development with the conquest of independence as the main sign of identity!
When thinking about a future as a family, many couples wonder what the ideal number of children is. Although socially there is a tendency to consider that two children is the perfect number, the truth is that there is no answer to such a question, and any option is good depending on the circumstances of each one.
"Oh, mom, you're very heavy", "you're exaggerated and controlling"... Do these phrases sound familiar to you? Has your teenage son ever said them to you?
All of us seek the approval of others at some point in our lives, especially when we are little. And it is normal to do so; Babies and children don't yet know what "is expected of them", or what they are good at, how hard they can go to get what they want, and so on.
We adults live in a fast-paced world. The whirlwind of everyday life, the responsibilities and the unforeseen events that always arise end up engulfing us in a thunderous way, forcing us to activate the 'automatic pilot' from the moment we get up until we go to bed. And so, day after day we feel that time is slipping through our fingers without even being aware of it.
With the return to school and the beginning of the course, we realize that our children are no longer so young, and they face a new school year that until "two days" was far away.
"Come on, get up, it was nothing!", "Get up!, don't be a playwright", "Nothing has happened, stand up!"... These are just some of the phrases that parents use often when the little ones fall to the ground, in order to downplay what happened.
As parents, we do everything we can to keep our children happy, healthy, and safe. As realistic parents, we know that although we will always do everything to protect them, we cannot keep them in a bubble. Unfortunately, there are bad and negative things in the world that could generate a lot of fear in our children, influencing their way of seeing and living life.
