Adaptation of “Educating with the heart” by Rubén Armendáriz Ramírez
◦“The essential thing is to learn to love while maintaining the freedom of the loved one and in such a way that allows us both to preserve our own individuality”
Thigh Nhat Hanh
Below are some points that parents can consider when training their children in values..
It is not a magic recipe, is understanding that our children are unique beings. unrepeatable and not an extension of us as parents.
-
A child is not property
His parents brought him into the world and he was born thanks to them., but it doesn't belong to them, belongs to existence.
They are your protectors, but that doesn't mean they belong to them.
2.Parents should not do whatever they want with their child..
Each new being comes to fulfill a specific and individual mission in their life., Parents already had their time and opportunity to do what they wanted with their lives and fulfill their mission.. If they didn't take advantage of it, that's not the son's fault.. A child should not have to meet the parents' expectations.
3. A father must be a counselor, not an imposter.
Parents should help develop their children's intelligence to face life's circumstances.. They should always guide them by presenting options so that the children are the ones who decide their path to choose..
The father will be a guide, being able to guide you in the face of probable future problems with your choices.
4. Parents should love their children intensely and then let them go their own way..
Us, We adults already had to leave our home and take our way out of the house.. In this way our children will come to us to be supported in their path of maturation to find meaning in their own existence..
