Without a doubt, that phrase that says that all children are like the fingers of the hands is very real, that is, they all look alike, but deep down they are not and they fulfill different functions. From the index finger to the "sacamoquito" hahaha...
Today's story relates to this because it is a reflection on the way my children respond to such simple questions as: how was your day today? Did you like the children's day celebration you had at school? What did you like more?
The oldest: Well, I liked that there were contests and games and that I won many prizes.
The one in the middle: Well, there were no classes.
The youngest: Well, they gave us a lot of good food.
Thus, on this occasion, as on many others, I have discovered in my children's response that children always make decisions and form beliefs about themselves, about others and about the world. And with those beliefs they walk through the world based on their life experiences.
So their behavior is based on those decisions and what they think they need to survive or succeed. For example, my oldest son likes to live together, socialize and compete; while my middle son is a bit reluctant and doesn't like academic activities at all. Finally, my little daughter enjoys spending time sitting at the dining room table playing and chatting; even though she is not eating.
And you, have you seen this type of curious responses in your children?
