Cuidar de la salud mental de nuestros niños para criar adultos felices

<p dir="auto"><div class="text-justify"> <div class="text-justify"><div class="pull-left"> <h3><strong><code>English <p dir="auto">I dedicated a good part of my life to education, for more than 25 years I was a teacher of integral education and I attended many children with special conditions in the classroom, and although I have not practiced for quite some time, I am still an educator at heart and I can see the importance of raising happy children in healthy environments for the mental health of a society. <p dir="auto">The first 7 years of childhood are crucial in the formation of a child, the imprints we leave in those first years of life will mark to a large extent their behavior patterns, and the attitude they have towards life. <p dir="auto">If we castrate, mistreat, make fun of a child and/or commit any abuse, this will mark them for life, even if they can "forget" the origin of their problem. Everything will be registered on an unconscious level that will always be there in the shadows, or rather "lurking". <p dir="auto">And this clearly influences their mental health. When I knew the personal and family history of my children I could understand very clearly why their reactions or behaviors, because when I saw their woundedness or the modeling I brought from home I realized that they were misunderstood souls. <div class="text-justify"><div class="pull-right"> <h3><strong><code>Español <p dir="auto">Dediqué buena parte de mi vida a la educación, durante más de 25 años fui docente de educación integral y atendí en aula a muchos niños con condiciones especiales, y aunque ya no ejerzo desde hace bastante tiempo, sigo siendo educadora de corazón y puedo ver la importancia de criar niños felices y en ambientes sanos para la salud mental de una sociedad. <p dir="auto">Los primeros 7 años de la infancia son cruciales en la formación de un niño, las improntas que dejamos en esos primeros años de vida marcarán en buena medida sus patrones de comportamiento, y la actitud que estos tengan frente a la vida. <p dir="auto">Si castramos, maltratamos, nos burlamos de un niño y/o cometemos cualquier abuso, eso los marcará de por vida, aun cuando puedan "olvidar" el origen de su problema. Todo quedará registrado en un nivel inconsciente que siempre estará ahí a la sombra, o mejor dicho al "acecho". <p dir="auto">Y esto claramente influye en su salud mental. Cuando conocía la historia personal y familiar de mis niños podía entender con mucha claridad el por qué de sus reacciones o conductas, porque al ver su herida o el modelaje que traía de casa me daba cuenta de que eran almas incomprendidas. <hr /> <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23uFZw9CfFRcyDTKz265AFtWYqLwwASNZ23zhSyREfEJjgzsJQFdP7a3VDnSbGHAb6HDx.jpeg" alt="WhatsApp Image 2023-10-18 at 10.41.16 PM.jpeg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23uFZw9CfFRcyDTKz265AFtWYqLwwASNZ23zhSyREfEJjgzsJQFdP7a3VDnSbGHAb6HDx.jpeg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23uFZw9CfFRcyDTKz265AFtWYqLwwASNZ23zhSyREfEJjgzsJQFdP7a3VDnSbGHAb6HDx.jpeg 2x" /> <hr /> <div class="text-justify"><div class="pull-left"> <p dir="auto">Our society has led us to give more importance to the academy, to cognitive learning, to technical skills and abilities, but not to the attention of the emotional and mental aspect of the individual. <p dir="auto">I think there is an urgent need in our societies for an education centered on the individual, on his or her potentials, on making room for his or her particularities, for his or her feelings... for new ways of learning. I know that some steps are already being taken in these directions, but I believe that we are still going at the pace of a wounded morroccoy, especially in our country. <p dir="auto">There is an urgent need for healthy environments for children, functional relationships, the protection of their mental health and the cultivation of their emotional intelligence. <div class="text-justify"><div class="pull-right"> <p dir="auto">Nuestra sociedad nos ha llevado a dar más importancia a la academia, al aprendizaje cognitivo, a las habilidades y destrezas técnicas, más no a la atención de ese aspecto emocional y mental del individuo. <p dir="auto">Pienso que urge en nuestras sociedades una educación centrada en el individuo, en sus potenciales, en dar cabida a sus particularidades, a su sentir... a nuevas formas de aprendizaje. Sé que ya se dan algunos pasos en esas direcciones, pero creo que aún vamos a paso de morrocoy herido, sobre todo en nuestro país. <p dir="auto">Urgen entornos sanos para los niños, relaciones funcionales, la protección de su salud mental y el cultivo de su inteligencia emocional. <hr /> <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/AKRAY2EY82VUFvzaE5SRV8f5aMbXk4sMk3PaSDqbf1nUxcJ7sWxAfmELwazhLPU.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/AKRAY2EY82VUFvzaE5SRV8f5aMbXk4sMk3PaSDqbf1nUxcJ7sWxAfmELwazhLPU.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/AKRAY2EY82VUFvzaE5SRV8f5aMbXk4sMk3PaSDqbf1nUxcJ7sWxAfmELwazhLPU.png 2x" /> <hr /> <div class="text-justify"><div class="pull-left"> <p dir="auto">In their little world they are very sensitive beings who are influenced by everything that surrounds them, in many cases they take literally the things they perceive in their environment, and quietly add fears, anxieties, fears, frustrations, rejections, anger to their emotional assets, which then impacts on their mental health as adults. <p dir="auto">If we do not generate these spaces for listening, validation, accompaniment, acceptance and recognition, we will continue to have sick adults, a sick society and a decaying world. <p dir="auto">And every little thing, no matter how insignificant it may seem to them, can be of great importance. One of my grandsons was affected by an expression that a teacher told him when he was 4 years old, she told the children that if they didn't have their shirts tucked in their pants she was going to cut them with scissors. Since then the boy always walks around with his shirt tucked inside his pants, even when he puts on his pajamas and he is already a teenager, no matter how many attempts we have made all these years to make him feel free to take his shirt off on the outside, we have not been able to make him feel comfortable that way, and since then he started to bite his nails, a symbol of the anxiety process he was going through. He was marked by that, and it even seems funny, but silly things like that can generate a trauma for life, or impacts on the mental health of these future men and women. <p dir="auto">That is why I take advantage of this invitation from the <a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-131951/created" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Holos&Lotus Community to reflect on mental health, to highlight the importance of taking care of the integrity of our children to ensure their mental health. <p dir="auto">If you want to read about the new initiative, read on this link: <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-131951/@hive-131951/enjoy-good-mental-health" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Do I enjoy good mental health - Initiative. <pre><code>**Thank you very much for joining me here, see you soon!** <div class="text-justify"><div class="pull-right"> <p dir="auto">En su mundito pequeño son seres muy sensibles que se dejan influenciar por todo lo que los rodea, en muchos casos se toman literal las cosas que perciben de su entorno, y calladitos van sumando miedos, angustias, temores, frustraciones, rechazos, rabia a su haber emocional, que luego impacta en su salud mental de adultos. <p dir="auto">Si no generamos esos espacios de escucha, validación, acompañamiento, aceptación y reconocimiento, seguiremos teniendo adultos enfermos, una sociedad enferma y un mundo en decadencia. <p dir="auto">Y cada cosa por más insignificante que nos parezca para ellos puede ser de gran relevancia. Uno de mis nietos se afectó por una expresión que le dijo una maestra cuando tenía 4 años, ella le decía a los niños que si no tenían la camisa bien metida por dentro del pantalón iba a pasar con una tijera cortando. Desde entonces el niño siempre anda con la camisa metida dentro del pantalón, inclusive cuando se pone el pijama y ya es un adolescente, por muchos intentos que hemos hecho todos estos años de que se sienta libre de sacarse la camisa por fuera no hemos logrado que se sienta cómodo de esa manera, y además desde entonces empezó con una manía de comerse las uñas, símbolo del proceso de ansiedad que estaba viviendo. Quedó marcado por eso, y puede parecer hasta gracioso, pero tonterías como esas pueden generar un trauma para toda la vida, o impactos en la salud mental de esos futuros hombres y mujeres. <p dir="auto">Por ello aprovecho esta invitación que nos hace la Comunidad de <a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-131951/created" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Holos&Lotus de reflexionar sobre la salud mental, para destacar la importancia de cuidar la integridad de nuestros niños para garantizar su sanidad mental. <p dir="auto">Si deseas leer sobre la nueva iniciativa, lee en este enlace: <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-131951/@hive-131951/gozo-de-una-buena-salud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">¿Gozo de una buena salud mental? - Iniciativa <pre><code>**Muchas gracias por acompañarme hasta aquí. ¡Hasta pronto!** <hr /> <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23vhyocgomZY9EdsMHxyM4qKoiDpsNSqTBzovG5xMzdsr7qkPWhBu7fCSGgAHvWTZXBzt.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23vhyocgomZY9EdsMHxyM4qKoiDpsNSqTBzovG5xMzdsr7qkPWhBu7fCSGgAHvWTZXBzt.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23vhyocgomZY9EdsMHxyM4qKoiDpsNSqTBzovG5xMzdsr7qkPWhBu7fCSGgAHvWTZXBzt.png 2x" /> <hr /> <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23xytnFbDM3aYqWqgmJTCo5hVi2PojN8Qf659rxX7TYqZiSsPE8xt4b6uM8cLnCsn2hwJ.png" alt="De parte de Mariana (5).png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23xytnFbDM3aYqWqgmJTCo5hVi2PojN8Qf659rxX7TYqZiSsPE8xt4b6uM8cLnCsn2hwJ.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mireyaromero/23xytnFbDM3aYqWqgmJTCo5hVi2PojN8Qf659rxX7TYqZiSsPE8xt4b6uM8cLnCsn2hwJ.png 2x" /> <p>
