Hello friends, here again and happy to be in the Holos&Lotus Community, which celebrates its second anniversary and we are all very happy to be here in this Hive community specially dedicated to help in our personal growth. This main objective has been successfully achieved because its administrators take care of every detail around the development of this valuable project and another very important thing is that they have been able to demonstrate that they live what they preach.

On the subject of setting an example, this year's edition of "Look at the Children" will be aimed at highlighting the need of the little ones for an ideal role model, and you are the ideal role model for your child. Yes, children want to be like their parents because they love and admire them. Let us have no doubt about this statement and as we already know that children learn by imitation, then they are attentive to the attitudes, reactions and habits of their parents. In other words, the character, interests and future habits of our children depend on us parents, so we are obliged to be the perfect model for our children. Just as you read it, perfect role model, what a commitment. But... How.

Say it and do it

As adults and parents, let's not think that it is enough to just give instructions and recommendations to children about what is right or wrong. What is better is that we comply and very disciplined with the same rules, even with the so-called suggestions, but which are actually orders for children. I give you a very simple example: if we do not want the children to put a glass on our precious wooden table, we should not do it either, not even in a moment of carelessness, because when we least expect it, the child or children can surprise us with: "And why do you put it there? Now I ask you: would you know what to answer, and I mean a logical answer.

Let's not think we are smarter than children, swearing that we can confuse them with a pun, because seriously I tell you, at no time underestimate the ability they have to understand what is happening around them. Children can pick up, absolutely down to the smallest details of situations that perhaps an adult would pay no attention to whatsoever.Scared, dear adults? 😇

Stimulate and reward

As I said the child is a great observer and by nature tends to imitate what he sees and hears. But this imitation is faster when he receives a reward or some compensation, these stimuli can be a kiss he receives or perhaps a smile or caress. An example is when we are washing the dishes and we receive the help of another person at home to whom we smile giving him a hug in gratitude, as the child is a witness of that scene is very likely that the next time he wants to wash the dishes or every time he dirties something in the kitchen he has the initiative to wash it. Then, this action should be rewarded because it is actually what the child expects, because it is what he learned when he observed that we rewarded that activity.

Maintain a positive attitude

This positivism often goes down badly but when we have children in our care we are obliged to have an inspiring attitude especially because as adults we are aware that every little problem has an easy solution and if there is an adult who does not see it that way, then he or she has serious problems. This concept of staying calm and being sure to find solutions in everyday life is essential to be fixed in the child's mind.

Perhaps you have heard about repeating the solutions out loud, that is a tactic but as we said in the first point, what we should do is talk and do, so the solutions that we apply to small daily difficulties must be said and done. I can think of another simple example, and that is when one of the four chairs in the dining room breaks, what we should do is to say that we will put it aside so that no one gets hurt, until it can be fixed. This positive attitude transmits to the child serenity and confidence for the solution of small problems, on the other hand, a negative attitude would be to protest because that chair will be missing and because we do not have money to fix it.

Sooner or later, it will follow you.

To close the subject, I say to you that do not expect your child to start imitating you immediately, even if you are the ideal model of human being, nor when your effort to achieve it has been the best. Now I sound negative for not hiding this reality, but I am not, it is a matter of true objectivity so as not to write you a fanciful pink novel and the learning process takes some time but trust me because the results are infallible.

Now yes, culminating, let's remember that with our constant behavior we are leaving the open road that our children will follow sooner or later, so let's leave footprints well marked so they do not lose our trail.
