Girls who now occupy parks and classrooms are the women of tomorrow, but first they are today’s girls, and there is no reason to want to accelerate their childhood so that in the future they are perfect women. mothers, ready to take care of the house, ready to move around the world, ready to be the best at work, ready to handle their emotions, ready to chew frustrations and not chok, if they already have a headache with so many requests. , imagine theirs.
“Life is the childhood of our immortality. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe-
- Childhood doesn’t exist to make perfect women.
- Evidently no father wants his children to have the best future.
- To do so they give blood to work every day.
- To do so they seek the best teacher and strive to multiply the hours of the day.
The other day I read an article that said we were asking too much of the children, and that may be true, but what the experience has taught me is that we hear very little, that they have thousands of social networks to express themselves, but few. family spaces to do so.
Let no one misunderstand me, it is not their decision-making, but what they want now, including what they would like in their future if we give ourselves the power to make decisions for them: if we assume this right and obligation, we cannot ignore the responsibility we have acquired before them. It’s not a matter of consent, it’s about integrating them and helping them discover for themselves where they want to go. I’m talking about something that has nothing to do with the fact that parents are more or less strict.
If we want to teach you something, let us show you that perfection does not exist, that throughout life they will have to face fears, and that the brave are not the ones who are not afraid, but those who set them aside and overcome them. Those who do it all the time looking aside how minimal these fears become.
“Those who share childhood never seem to grow up. -Graham Greene-
Show them that perfection doesn’t exist, but that fears multiply as you go: in the house that comes out of the game there’s usually much less to lose than in the following houses, we tell them that there are wins with prizes that aren’t worth paying, because it’s not worth being the most popular if the price is bullying , mockery or insult.
Let us show that before taking an opinion for yours it is better to judge her, even if it means that they do the same with our opinions and that we need to spend more time exposing them, let us not show that vulnerability makes us weak, because the shells of the people we love only keep us away from them.
Let’s teach that they have great power. The one who cuts off a romantic relationship to the first sign of abuse, who knocks down a door and intervenes if they feel someone is in danger, the one who says no when they receive a suspicious invitation. Let us teach that freedom does not mean anarchy, and that those who fear it do not do so for our own good, even if it may be accompanied by many voices.
Let us teach that if they join their power with courage, they will become valuable people, and that as long as they become those people, they will be a worthwhile person. Why tell it, count so much that if you stop thinking, it’s all happens while we die, while we live?and in the meantime, rich in perspectives, one thing happens: happiness has a strange sympathy for the people who are worth it.
