Your Child Has 3 Things To Teach You – Being Parents

You can learn a million things from your child, that’s for sure. I am also sure that he came into the world to teach you to love unconditionally. But thinking about the here and now, in principle your child has 3 things to teach you: to be happy for nothing, to fight tirelessly for what you want and to always be busy with something.

Being happy for nothing… One of the 3 things to teach you

Two of the most charming qualities of children are their spontaneous happiness and their innocence. Think about it: most of the time the kids are happy, so much so that sometimes we even think they’re happy “for nothing” and that’s really nice for us.

To see a mother and a child look each other in the eyes and smile. Because they know they love each other or because their looks reveal the misdeeds of their complicity, it’s a simply delicious scene. I know you have experienced it and like many you yearn to savor this feeling day by day.

Even so, I dare to disentangle this phrase from being happy “for nothing”. I search my mind for scenes of happy children “for nothing” and remember babies who smile when they barely open their eyes. They are just happy to have stood up.

This same exercise conjures up images of children happy because their mother gave them a kiss on the cheek. I remember the children laughing because they heard the sound of the blender and they know that mom is making milk for them. Yes, these are everyday occurrences and that, perhaps for many, is to be happy “for nothing”.

To be happy “for nothing” means to experience a true appreciation of the essential details of life. Be happy because the sun has risen, because it’s a new day, because mom or someone loves us and shows it to us with a kiss on the cheek, because we have something to eat. Beautiful details make our life sweet and children see them. Get involved, you will learn to live fully.

Perseverance is one of the 3 things to teach you

It is difficult to overcome the persistence of a child who wants a toy that he has seen on television, for example. He will ask it with admirable insistence, but since it is an “induced” desire to say it in a certain way, it is a situation with which intelligent parents will know how to handle intelligence.

However, when your child is convinced to do something and this idea springs from his head, I believe he will teach you to fight tirelessly for what you want.

The strategy will depend on the character of the child. There are stubborn ones, there are funny ones, there are strategists, there are scientists, there are spoiled ones, no matter the method or the tone. The bottom line is that if he’s convinced that he can change the world, he will.

I am convinced that many of the people who are children now will change the way we live in the future. In other words, they will change the world. Learn from it, every day is an opportunity to change your world. Take this opportunity today.

Discovering the world is one of the three things to teach you

For children, life is an adventure in which they discover everything. All objects, sounds, people, sensations, tastes, textures, smells – everything – is new and therefore extremely exciting.

The experience of experimentation triggers other feelings which may well be surprise, fear, laughter, curiosity, tenderness, compassion… I know an adult who, as a child, spent days and days observing the ants, or even to feed them. Today he knows them like no other and is able to remove them from any home if they disturb them.

This adult is called Andrés and he was a free child, now he is a free adult. His mother let him be and do. He was interested in discovering the world and he still does, he always finds something to do and does it.

He is busy doing something all the time and also has a plus, his mother taught him to do everything very well, with care. So he’s a very nice person who you always want to be with.

Your child is surely always busy with something because he discovers the world, it is possible that in this experience, he damages certain objects, discovers electronic devices, gets filled with paint, gets bitten by wasps … I do not know not. It will not be serious, it will be beautiful, especially because you will accompany him and you will learn from him because your child is your best teacher.
