SOS Children by Gustavo Fritz

They have made us believe that to be good parents is to be in conditions of giving the best education, the best house, the best clothes and the best events to our children. They just forgot one detail, what they need most is LOVE. GF

They say that Kaiser William the Great of Germany, a lover of arts and sciences, wanted to know how children would express themselves if they were never taught to speak. To do this, he devised a terrible experiment with babies abandoned at birth, who were sent to a special home. The people in charge of caring for them had to try to feed them properly, clean them, dress them and shelter them, but they could not speak to them, smile at them or show them any affection.

The great William could not know how these children would communicate, because everyone, all without exception, died.

Although it may seem a lie, infants, children between zero and twelve months, can suffer serious depressions. In them, depressive illness obviously manifests itself in a very different way than it does in adults, who can speak and express their feelings. Infants when depressed show apathy for the environment, refusal to eat, malnutrition, lack of psychomotor development and frequent infections that end with death.

Everyone will think at this point the atrocious of this experiment, but saving the distances is the experiment that we have been doing since the great industrial revolution and the search for ig equality between man and the woman.

Today the economy managed to nearly triple the labor supply of labor thanks to the inclusion of women and young people (even children practically) in companies of mass production lines and achieving before such a supply of labor lower wages to the point that we already forgot (those who spent 40) that there was a time where it was NORMAL than the child Or take care of it and educate your mom. Today, thanks to what we believed were `` social conquests '' in more than 70% of the homes two of its members work, and one of them has two jobs most of the time. The number of children per family was drastically reduced as well.

And we are surprised after an unscrupulous, selfless, hyperactive child ???

It is our "Creation" is not a "Disease of our time." It is clear that we cannot or do not want to modify the world economy, although any change that begins with one can become the GREAT change as it happened so that without realizing we are where we are.

So yes, we have time to reconsider, to change the idea of ​​a couple of extra hours for a couple of hours of affection for them.

Let us make our priority in the time we have, do not get tired of listening to them, hugging and kissing them !!!

As James and Jongeward say:

“Most people tend to centralize opinions and traditions in the

Father state of self; data based on facts and calculations, in the Adult; and natural and adapted feelings in the Child . ……… Children are not born with their feelings already programmed in relation to objects and people; each u does not learn to whom and what can show affection; learn also who and what to feel guilty about; who and what to fear; who and what to hate ”.

Although each child experiences all feelings, each of them finally adapts to a favorite feeling: the one that most often experienced when things got difficult in the house .

They need more than anything in the world of our affection and presence. The deprivation of this will be an "affective malnutrition" with consequences as or more severe than the physical malnutritions that the international organizations for the defense of the child both try to replace and the governments manage complex policies to reduce it to the minimum possible.

For them to be good parents, we must be! Even if it's the chance of our best effort.
