The Unconventional WOMAN

Sometimes, we, as parents, are so wrong as to how we react to something our child does, that it takes one word to make them feel bad, innapropriate, ashamed and a lot of work for us and for them to repair the damage we’ve caused.

It’s 8 o ‘clock in the morning, and I hear a little girl playing and singing outside, after a rainy night. Her laughs feels so innocent and real, I can feel her joy just by hearing her. A warm feeling of love just flows through my hole being as I contemplate the beauty of childhood!❤️
That warmth feeling stays with me for as much as two minutes, as her Mom sees her and… reacts:
“You’re so stupid! I told you not to play outside in the mud!
Now you’re all dirty and wet!”
And so… my feelings of warmth dissapeared and were replaced with a deep dissapointment!!😔
Such a big ugly word for such a small beautiful child…

There is this beautiful quote we all should act upon…or so I believe:
“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
― Lao Tzu

I can just imagine what goes through that little girl’s mind and how SHE feels, hearing this from her own Mom…
“I’m stupid!”…

How long will it take for this child to prove herself and others that she’s not stupid?!
I’m having a real big problem understanding how is it that we don’t pay attention when using such innapropriate words!?

How is it that we cannot remember how it feels to act childish, to feel free, to enjoy the little things in life?
Unfortunately, I see this happening way too often, and it makes me wanna gather all parents and try to bring to their awareness the beauty of such moments and also the freedom they also felt as childrens. And, it’s not because I am better… it’s because it seems the right thing to do; it’s because parenting is something we should also learn actively, with the willingness to get better at it  day, after day, after day…
We’re soo wrong sometimes, when trying to “educate” our children…
We, somehow, want them to act as adults, BUT…, do we really like how adults behave?!

Let’s ACT from a place of LOVE, not REACT from a place of know-it-all ADULT!
LOVE U, Child!

Ps: My english might need improvement, but I want you to get the authenticity of it all…my thoughts, my english…everything!(No AI involvement😉)

Thank you for your patience!❤️
