Rising children

The way in which we raise our children influences the development of their personality, their self-esteem and the acquisition of skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

The first outings without the baby are usually complicated. Whether it's going back to work after maternity leave or having to run an errand alone, those first breakups aren't usually easy.

Are you becoming a controlling mother? How to find out? The truth is that being a mother is not an easy task, and that is that no one is given a manual to do it in the most "correct" way.

Parenting can be precious, but it is also demanding. Educating, caring, being an example, teaching, listening, supporting... are just some of the things that raising a child entails. And although we do them with all our love and desire, they are not always easy tasks. Moreover, these are things that can exhaust us, and it is normal.

Temper tantrums, childhood frustrations and challenge of limits are situations that parents often face when educating our children. They are part of their development and learning, and it is our job to guide and teach them in a respectful way.

There is a phrase that is totally true: no one is born knowing how to be a father or a mother. When we have children, we begin a new stage in our lives for which -in addition to reading some books or following professional advice- we don't know much until we are already immersed in it.

"I feel exhausted", "I have no energy", "it is impossible for me to work at home with the children", "I can't take it anymore", "I need to disconnect". Do you feel identified with any of these phrases? If so, you may be experiencing parental burnout.

Can you imagine being told that reality can only be black or white? Or that your performance at a dance can only be great or disastrous? That you can only be happy or sad? What would you think? Probably, that this is a simplistic view of reality, and that there are a thousand nuances beyond these statements.
