Sometimes, we adults have the chance to learn some amazing lessons from children!
Over the years I have learnt several things.... But believe it or not, the people I have observed the most, but above all, the people I have taken away as pleasant and comforting people, without a doubt, have been the children. I studied 9 semesters of education, trying to please my mother; I thought I would hate the career but it was them, the youngest of the house that reminded me of the power of magic that only that tenderness they possess.... Not to mention my own daughter. A wonderful, splendid little girl who has given me so many lessons about elementary things. Here are some revelations and confessions from a mother about children and about her daughter...
You see, we adults tend to have a pace of life that is nothing like that of the average child. They have Ms energy and vitality, yes, obviously; but they don't manage their time as meanly as we do. Sure, in an ideal environment, they don't have to work or maintain responsibilities like we do, but they are immensely better at using their time. They are more productive, simple, empathetic, humanistic and caring than the vast majority of the average adult.
My daughter and her best friend are two girls who have known each other all their lives. For 5 years they have been together for everything. They go to dance together, attend homework together, and are next to each other on holidays and weekends..... And no matter how many times I ask her: ‘Honey, has your best friend ever gotten bored?’ her answer is always the same: ‘No, mommy. She's fun and we always want to play with each other’. Yesterday, to give just one brief example, they had dance training. Both have gained weight and were penalised with an extra day of physical training (on Sundays). And even though it's the weekend, they both look radiant, totally happy.
And the reason for so much excitement? Because they knew they had one more excuse to be together... So, that simplicity that they are able to show towards each other, and that purity in understanding friendship is something rare to see in adults? Let's face it; few are the friendships that overcome time, the good moments of life (especially when there is money and success), let alone bad energies or hidden desires (such as envy, hypocrisy, etc.). And although, some children may become cruel to each other, this is a rarity. Because in a solid family environment with a sufficient balance between love and values, such displays of violence would not normally emerge in them...
Once again, sometimes it is we adults who need to learn from children.... How often do we let pride or carelessness invade our actions and decisions? That would never happen with children. They can easily detect when they have made a mistake and need to apologise, or when their friend or another child needs help, a hug or just a bit of company and affection? In that sense, as in many others, children have a moral and human advantage over you and me, or any other adult who finds it comfortable to make excuses but finds it hard to admit fault or do what needs to be done. My daughter and her friend played, had fun, learned and exercised; while I watch them and value their teachings to me. Thank you girls, thank you.
