There are so many clichés in the different ways of parenting, that I would need 3 days, 6 pages and 17 communication specialists, so that there are no offended, outraged or I don’t know what other epithets types of parents.
Unfortunately the generation of children that we are all witnessing since 2020 is raised by driven egos, the neuroses and the suppressions of their parents when they were children.
The whatsapp groups of parents are buzzing with all sorts of reactions, just when parenting is questioned.
So when the parent is put to the test, put to the test of distrust, when something is actually questioned, especially a quality, their parenting quality.
I experienced it in the park, some years ago, a parent overlooked the fact that the child was behaving and talking inappropriately, but stood up nervously at the sound of `what kind education you got`
Somehow we have lived with the need for acceptance so much that it rubs off on our children, unfortunately.
Its not their fault either that they are a generation of nervous children, nor that they are picky, nor because most of the time they dont take No as an answer (which is not necessarily a bad thing 😀 ).
Today’s children (another expression obsessively repeated by us, yesterday’s parents) are highly evolved, they know that everything is possible, they are easily adaptable to any type of situation, and so creative (especially when it comes to avoiding school activities 😀 ).
We are the ones who adapt with difficulty, their emotions, their reactions, their desires.
And we expect them to understand everything
Because I said so
