The resilient child

 Carol Dweck exposed:  "Praising intelligence or talent creates a fixed mindset, makes kids worried about taking on hard tasks, even if they learn from them, and sabotages resilience. What's the alternative? Praising that process, effort, strategies, persistence - those growth mindset characteristics creates the hardy and resilient child"  My Aloncito again, has showed me since he was a newborn how resilient a baby can be and develop in every task. Look at these shots, for example, in the task of having a baby bath...  An example of resilience in this simple act for his wellbeing, there are things that can be threatened at first, but in the meantime the child can manage, govern, even like that thing, like a baby bath. 💛 Same with the others most crucial aspects of parenting in the child's experience, overcoming its "first time" by the hand of a tender parent, he/she doesn't you take his place because is as capable as you, but need confidence in their at...

You know there are things that are better to think about as a shape with some divisions, like this triangle divided into what we should permanently remember for the sake of our children, and our parenthood.  This is the Parenting Pyramid, when I saw it the first time a few weeks ago, I was impressed that "correction" was located in the little part of the triangle, why? Doesn't the children need to be corrected so they can learn what we want them to know?  And the biggest part is the "Personal Way of Being", Doesn't that sound narcissistic to practice in parenting?  Well, since I became a parent and even before that, I got enthusiastic about looking for - by watching or reading- good information and examples on good parenting. I only want to do my best and reach out to the precious help out there to help parents.  Every single part of the pyramid is strongly tied, influences the other, and depends on the other. So, let's see... 👀 the base of the pyramid ...
