A child is for life. His or Her life.
Having a child is a commitment for a lifetime.
Girl or boy, your child did not ask to come into the world.
He or she is the result of deep love, of a thoughtful and driven will in the best of cases, or an "accident" in the worst.
Nevertheless, in any situation, the child is not responsible for coming into the world.
For his/her own existence.
Thus, he/she is not the author of it.
But the child must ultimately become the author and actor of his/her own life.
With precious help.
Invaluable.
YOURS.
Have you thought about it?
To understand the universe and the society around him/her, he or she will need an indispensable ally.
His/her parent.
You.
The role of a Parent
Parenthood carries more responsibilities than rights. It is the most demanding "job".
Being a parent, mother or father, is above all accepting that you are, almost all the time, in a state of becoming.
Because a child constantly seeks to:
play
explore its environment
push the limits
test, taste, learn
etc.
So, he or she needs someone responsible who knows how to set spatial and temporal boundaries.
However, these boundaries must... shift.
You must constantly adapt to the child who is growing, maturing, and needs to gain autonomy, to become the author and actor of their own life.
All of this can only happen if you are willing to evolve.
To change.
To be constantly vigilant, attentive, and in a state of becoming.
Even as a parent who holds authority.
For this, you need an essential quality.
One that must be maintained
Awareness.
Thinking and acting with Awareness and Kindness
Many of the things we do, the habits and behaviors we adopt, are not intentional, not even... conscious.
Our actions are often dictated by our past, our society, our family environment, and are not thought out or filtered by us.
Have you ever considered this?
In fact, it is essential to train ourselves to think in advance about the teachings we will impart to our child. This being who has been growing since they were in their mother's womb, then as a baby, child, adolescent... And whose development we are responsible for.
So, it is crucial to be aware of what we say to our child, of their questions, and of our responses. Of our prejudices, beliefs, reflexes...
This book explores essential themes to anticipate challenges, obstacles, and will help you realize the importance of your conscious guidance for your child.
So that this human adventure, built together, becomes one of the most beautiful of your lives.
