The role of a parent in the modern world is very difficult. At the moment, society is changing rapidly, new technologies are appearing, as well as ways of interaction between people. How not to get lost in the variety of information? How to give children something important and valuable that will help them grow into a harmonious personality and just a happy person? One of the most important functions of parenting is... love. How easy and how difficult. After all, it’s not so easy to love without judgment, unconditionally, and accepting a child for who he is. Especially when the correct attitudes and stereotypes are not always drawn from your own childhood... Children also need to be protected. Protect from the injustice of the world, teach to accept the inevitable and change what can be changed. But sometimes children need to be protected from their...parents. I’m not talking about dysfunctional families, everything is clear there. From there, children simply need to be rescued. Let's talk about families that are prosperous on the outside, where children sometimes grow up without the right to choose. Here is an almost fictional story. ... - So, put on my old pointe shoes. And you, son, take your father’s boxing gloves. Not the newest, but you'll get a lot done with them. - Mom, dad.. We don’t want to go to ballet and boxing. I dream of a stunt scooter, and my brother wants to draw comics on a special tablet... - What? What nonsense! A girl needs a scooter? Should a boy draw? No, all my life I dreamed of doing ballet, and my father dreamed of the ring! So march, we took our old sports equipment and went to our sections. When you grow up, you will choose! The children have grown up.... Let's think about whether they know how to MAKE CHOICES? After all, mom and dad persistently suggested where to go (where there are connections), where to go to work, and even intrusively recommended a young man and a girl from decent families to create a couple. How many times has a guy with an unnecessary rank in boxing looked at drawing tablets and thrown away the drawings he made at boring meetings at his uncle’s company. And a young girl looked with longing at the young people racing on stunt scooters. But for some reason she couldn’t even rent a regular one......I often see how children’s desires and dreams are destroyed like this, “with good intentions” by their parents! And they wear “old pointe shoes and boxing gloves” with tears, unable to resist their domineering, authoritarian parents, and sometimes wear them their entire lives. Let’s love and accept children! It's time to start living your own life without putting your unfulfilled dreams on them! After all, the child is suffocating in such a reality, it seems to him that his parents do not need him - the real one! Or maybe such a child is you? If you feel that you are putting pressure on the child, but do not know how to change the style of communication, or if you We ourselves grew up under the yoke of our parents’ unfulfilled hopes, I’m waiting for you at a consultation. We will learn to make OUR CHOICE and teach this to our children ❤
