breeding

The way we communicate with our children greatly influences their psychological development, which includes their self-esteem.

Surely you have heard of caregiver syndrome in people who care for the elderly or dependents, but what about fathers and mothers who must care for their children and who feel down and excessively tired?

Have you ever thought that perhaps you were too demanding with your children? Do you think the requirement is positive for them? To what extent should we demand them, and on what issues...?

The fear begins to appear when the doctor releases you from the hospital. I remember it like it was yesterday: I only managed to answer with a "already?", because after three days in the hospital, surrounded by doctors, nurses and where I felt safe, the moment of truth was approaching: seeing me with my husband, with no family to support us, scarred from a C-section, and a premature baby at home. Were we prepared? No! Nobody ever is!

Being self-demanding has positive and negative aspects; thus, it can stimulate children to want to improve and to do things well. But, on the other hand, it can generate pressure that is not always easy to manage.

Women who take a break in their professional career to raise their children are often discriminated against. Not only does it seem that they had to apologize to half of humanity for doing so (beware, if they return to work after the corresponding sick leave, too), but at the moment in which they want to return to working life, that period is usually seen as a space of dead time, in which they have ceased to be people who know about a trade, to be "a simple mother"... as if having a baby did not bring you lessons that you can transfer perfectly to the workplace.

Everyone, children and adults, is very good at something, and it doesn't have to be the same for everyone. On the other hand, not all of us have innate talents to discover, but we do all have certain things that we are better at, strengths, strong points...
