On the occasion of the celebration of International Children's Day, the NGO Educo presented this video in which Children and adults represent (with inverted roles) everyday scenes of the relationship between parents and children.
I always say that if parents had the ability to abstract when we scold, shout or humiliate (more frequent than you think) To our children, we would be ashamed of our behavior.
And it is that children are not mini adults with mini Rights, but they are people in development, who deserve all our respect, and to whom we have to be grateful to be there and give us the opportunity to see life with a renewed look.
The children have not come to the world to meet our expectations: they are born without knowing the rush of this crazy and "crazy" world in which we live. At least they aspire to adapt a little, because we are their parents and - although we do not put interest in understanding them - they love us unconditionally, and they need us while they are small.
Laura Perales said that we have completely forgotten to let children live, and sadly every day we see scenes (own and others) that prove it
This video goes from the parents bad behavior when they dictate to their children "what socks to wear" (as if that were to determine their life); or when they talk disparagingly, with other parents of their children being present; when they show that children - their own - bother; or when they appear to be ashamed of the kids.
What are learned behaviors? Of course, I know that ... but it is that we can change them, with a little will and patience; and "getting back up" when we are wrong.
Many times it is said "Children's Day" should be every day, do you think ?, Well then to "think" a little more about the children you have closer. Put yourself in their place, and act accordingly, make them proud of you.
