¿What would you do in your ideal day?

Let’s think for a moment what we would have done when we were little if we were given the power to decide what to do in an entire day. What would our reaction be? What would be the first thing we would ask for? As adults and parents we know that a good education implies helping children to be autonomous, to have their own criteria, to think for themselves and to make decisions, because if from a young age they learn to make their own decisions and are capable of accepting their consequences, they will become independent adults capable of making wise decisions. But usually when we were little we didn’t have great power, if much we could decide what flavor of ice cream we wanted when we went out with our parents. Usually we do not get to think about things or situations that do not seem realistic to us, the probability that we will allow our children to do and undo for a day is almost nil. But it is curious to think what our children would do in this situation, it is even important to return to our mentality as children and to think that we would have asked.

Justice in children

What is fair depends on the ethical and moral paradigm in which a certain society lives, therefore it will vary according to the country, the population, the group, and the person. Everything in this life depends on multiple variables, sometimes it depends on us and sometimes not. But, as well as the cold or heat, the good and the bad; justice does not exist without an opposite, we could not distinguish just acts if there were no injustice. But beyond all that, life has no obligation to be fair, or to comply with the parameters of what we consider fair. Pretending that just for acting in the right way life is going to reward you with what you think you deserve, is an act of faith that will also end up frustrating you when you don’t receive what you expected. We must teach our children to distinguish between something fair and unfair according to the culture or society in which we live.

Developing creativity in children

Children’s creativity is a skill that must be constantly promoted. It is more of a constant exercise than an innate talent; since it is something that we can develop in them, as parents we can stimulate it through different strategies that can be included in the daily routine. If we stimulate it, our children may not develop their creativity in the best way. All boys and girls are born with a great capacity to use their imagination and create. However, over the years it happens that it is lost and in some cases it disappears completely. It disappears because we make some mistakes in our way of educating that little by little destroy children’s creativity capacity or because we develop their logical thinking a lot but we do not do the same with their creative side and their spatial development.

Two magic words

We have always been taught that good manners include asking “How are you?” Sometimes we forget the power that these words have, asking how did you do today? How was your day ?; we are full of thoughts, things to do and worries that we do not remember the little details that can help a person. Whether from our children, friends, family or just an acquaintance; These words can be the source of someone remembering a good day, the source to vent and release something that has bothered them all day, they are a source of catharsis, so I am going to comment on the importance of asking how was it today ?
