You Discover New Nooks And Crannies When You Love A Child

There are nooks and crannies in your heart that are only discovered when you experience certain specific things, such as when you love a child as a mother.  When we become mothers for the first time, something grows within us and changes us and enriches us.

It is like a psychic body part that makes us stronger and capable of appreciating life more. And that through the new person you love with all your heart, your child.

Perhaps more than one of our readers will be surprised by the title of this article. Is it really necessary to have a child to know what love means? To know what is in your heart? The answer is of course no.

In addition, many who work with children professionally and who deal with children daily, have had the opportunity to develop this gift. They know what happens when you love a child. They can see the world through the eyes of children. They can learn from them, love them and guide them to grow and become happy.

The truth is that from the very beginning when we come into the world, we are all “ready”, ready, to connect with others. We are ready to love and to be loved, to learn from every experience and every connection. Our heart is ready.

All the life experience we get is a gift that makes us stronger and more worthy. All the love and all the relationships we are in throughout our lives give us extra “wisdom” for our emotional bag.

When you love a child as a mother, you get a unique opportunity to grow as an individual. Children force us to be the best version of ourselves. And this is something that will enrich us infinitely.

What your heart “gathers” when you love a child

We all know this: that there are people who do not know how to love a child. This is not only devastating, but also creates trauma and causes problems, accidents and permanent emotional damage.

Not everyone has the skills to raise and educate our little ones. We are not just talking about parents, because sometimes it is also teachers and educators who lack that magic – the ability to connect with children.

All of these people have undoubtedly missed out on one of life’s finest gifts: the ability to learn from children and enjoy all that they give us wholeheartedly.

Let us now see what gifts children offer us.

Children need only one thing: love

As we train children, raise them, and guide them daily on the right path, we discover the great power of love, positive reinforcement, tenderness, and appreciation. These are lessons that are offered with patience, love and optimism…

• We immediately realize that by responding with appreciation and love, we achieve many more things. Unlike when we give orders with screams and let a shadow of fear come between us.
• We understand how love is the engine that drives children’s development, and how safe and everyday love encourages them to say their first words and take their first steps…

You learn to appreciate the smallest things in life

Life with children assumes the rhythm of a snail, the pace of a turtle and the magic of a dandelion on a windy afternoon.

Everything is new in the child’s eyes. Everything is exciting, fascinating and full of endless possibilities.

The person who can appreciate this gift – which we sometimes lose when we grow up – will also find his own inner child. The child who allowed himself to be trusted, who could dream by seeing a cloud in the sky or drops falling on a window pane…

We learn to give lessons for life, strategies for our hearts

You may not be an expert in child psychiatry, neuroscience or pedagogy or a life coach… and yet you realize that in daily life you represent all this for your child and more.

No one taught you how to educate a child. But from morning to night, you feel more and more confident that you can offer your child what it needs at any given moment:

• You’re already a guru in calming outbursts of rage.
• You have a radar to predict when your child is in danger.
• You can comfort the child when he is scared.
• You have mastered the noble art of patience.
• You have received the highest marks in offering kisses and hugs to comfort abrasions on the knees, small bruises and tears that have been pinched.

When you love a child, you know that you are growing as a person. You have never felt so good, so fulfilled, so happy and ready to continue giving your child everything you both deserve.
