Maternity

From the moment a woman finds out that a baby is on the way, everything changes. She waits for his arrival for nine months and when she finally holds her son in her arms, her life turns 180 degrees. Come to live by and for him. Without a doubt, motherhood transforms us and completes us as people.

A well-known phrase says that "The pen is stronger than the sword", which is a way of saying that intelligence has more power than force. If we take this phrase to the field of education, just as a well-conducted dialogue relationship can help us raise a child without using force, the most hurtful words can do more damage than any slap.

when they take on the roles of a sacrificial and perfect mother, forgetting about their own needs

Families have changed and solo motherhood is here to stay. There are more and more in our country and, in most of them, there is a woman as an adult figure.

All of us who have had more than one child have found that children are not alike, and that the way of raising one does not work for another, or that with a baby and a small child your way of dealing with their development changes. Besides, we have already learned with the first one and we no longer aspire for everything to be perfect. Even so, it is gratifying to hear from celebrities how life has changed after the birth of their second child and to see that they too are stressed and have to adapt to their new motherhood.

The normality and life that we knew completely disappeared with the arrival of the coronavirus, which not only affected us in routines, but also emotionally and physically. For those of us who have children, it was even more so, since it affected the whole family and it is not only about taking care of ourselves, but also of them.

The role of men in raising children continues to be seen, many times, from a different perspective than that of mothers. They are the ones who mostly take care of the children, and when a father does, it is often said that it "helps", instead of saying that it is also his responsibility and that he enjoys spending time with his children as much as the mother.

Time flies and in the blink of an eye our children grow up. There are many famous phrases and quotes about life with children or that fit perfectly with it. But without a doubt one of my favorites is the one that says that days are long but years are short.
