Being parents implies an arduous task of self-knowledge and self-development, because we do not want to cast our shadows on our children; on the contrary, the interest of a father goes hand in hand with a strong motivation to help and promote the happiness of the children.

It was always clear to me that I wanted to have at least two children, so after having my first daughter, I didn't have to decide whether or not I had a second, but when.

Although we are barely aware of it, we are the type of mother or the type of father that we currently are, because of the type of father or the type of mother we had. From our parents we inherit eye color, some values, some attitudes ... but we have also inherited some emotional wounds.

There are things that we fear and that we simply walk away from them. There are things we want and we get as close to them as we can.

We all know that women experience a lot of physical and psychological changes when they have a child. But what few of us know or disclose are the emotional changes that men go through when being parents, since somehow these are relegated to the background.The reality is that men also suffer the same changes as women during and after pregnancy, perhaps not in the same line because they are not the ones who carry the baby in their womb, but that is why their feeling of empathy expands and even their anxieties may increase, because they feel a little incapable of helping on a deeper level to your partner.

Tell me something dear mom, how do you tell your son that you love him? Surely the answer is the same that occurs to me, using those words: & 39; I love you & 39 ;. But what if I ask you another way?

How can we educate children without losing our temper? And without yelling!

Kissing children on the mouth is totally normal for many parents. An act of love and tenderness with which they express their affection in a natural and spontaneous way.

What to do when your children argue? For or against whom to position? First of all we have to remember that we are parents and not judges or lawyers in our children's discussions, so perhaps the best thing is to let ourselves be carried away by our emotions.
