Think. How often do you say "no" to your children? Many, too often, and often inappropriately. Do not you realize? I guess. A few examples.
THAT PATIENCE! - Children are the greatest thing in the world, and their children are even more.
They are also challenging in a way that is unimaginable until you can.
Only when you have one, two, three sons, one discovers that they are as intense and bring our parents' patience to the limit.
So here you try to stop this physical and intellectual exuberance. This exercise restraint but is more often driven to exasperation by reason and that we often say "this is not done, there is no one" or NO to respond to many comments or requests regardless of the substance.
not aware of it obviously and then the parents who read this may not be in Tok this description, but if you try to watch the others (if not themselves), this situation is more common than we think. Far from wanting
do the child psychologist, but I just mention one example that inspired me this reasoning.
AND fool - One day my son 5 years old, in front of the newspaper in which we buy a newspaper at the weekend, with calls (not too much) insistently pointing my attention with the enchanted expression of one of those classic games (Made in China, and certainly without dot EU) which now sell all newsstands now and that certainly contribute to most of the profits of the newsagents (but this has nothing to do ...). I think it was a robot, or a "Transformer-like" ...
Given this repeated request, my gut reaction I led immediately to say: "No! We do not buy anything. " Him, looks at me a little perplexed and says, "but I just wanted to show you that it was cool that game ....". And I felt a prick.
O my son is already, as they say in Rome, a nice screen for 5 years, I assumed things would not have to. Who knows how many more times is such a thing happened, and perhaps much more serious topics.
My "take away" from this small experience? We listen to children better and we will not tell them so many "no!" Free, or discover that there are alternative responses to NO to help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves in educating our children and that parents do not pretend to be "old" and "No sir."
Banal? Maybe, but life is full of trivial things that have meaning and implications.
