Teaching children to be grateful
Start from an early age to teach your child/ren the art of appreciation and gratefulness
Sometimes, children do not understand (depending on age) that to have 4, 5 boxes of toys in the lounge, someone has to work to afford those toys, they aren’t falling from the sky nor a magic formula will bring stuff for us. So we have to explain, teach our children the art of being grateful, thankful with what they have and not asking every day for a robot, doll, Lego and so on
I have witnessed some parents bribing their child with a new expensive toy every time they wanted to go out on a Saturday night, they will say
”If you go to sleep now and behave,m tomorrow we will buy you a new toy” the child is snoring so off they went. Tell me to know, will the child appreciate the toys, or will she/he ever play with that toy?
Start by teaching them to say the magic words ”Thank you and please” Be a role model for them. Treat everyone with kindness.
Talk with children about sharing. Observe the child at a play date, is he/she happy sharing the toys?
What if you ask the children to pack up some toys they do not want and then take them to the children home or the poor family you know. Now is the time for the child to understand the art of gratefulness.
De ce este important să ne exprimăm deschis afecţiunea faţă de copii?
De ceva timp mă tot gândesc la cat de importanta este afecțiunea pentru copil. Părinții joacă un rol foarte important în a dezvolta emoțional copilul.
Cred ca cel mai important este ca un copil să experimenteze, să crească într-un mediu în care iubirea necondiționată îi este oferită.
Știu familii care își exprimă afecțiunea foarte des, alții foarte rar, dar de asemenea știu și familii care nu zic copilului TE IUBESC niciodată!
De ce este important să nu fim zgârciți în a arăta afecțiunea față de copil?
- Stabilește o bază a conexiunii și relației dintre părinte-copil.
- Motivează copilul și îl face să se simtă mândru, plin de bucurie
- Știu că sunt prețuiți și iubiți
- Își poate exprima emoțiile mult mai usor, etc.

Self-Confidence
Do you have self-confidence?
Self -Confidence is an attitude about your abilities, knowledge, skills. You know your strengths and weakness very well, but most importantly you have a positive image of yourself.
You set realistic expectations, goals, can handle criticism and your communication skills are assertive.
If you look now in the mirror, what are you seeing? A brave lion or a scared little mouse?
To gain self-confidence we have to have good self-esteem about ourselves, DO NOT CRITICISE yourself for a fail exam, event, or whatever. Every day, as a human being we are improving as we are not perfect and is good to learn and reflect on our mistakes. BTW do not get stuck on comparing yourself with other people
Boost your self – confidence by:
Every day learn a simple thing, read one chapter from a book
Have a good routine of self care
Prioritize your own needs and emotions
Surround yourself with good friends
And count your blessings when you feel sad, inferior to other people.
OVER-PARENTING
Here is a definition of overparenting – too much involvement by parents in the lives of their children, so that they try to help with or control everything that happens to the child: over-parenting can lead to anxiety and depression in young people.
Usually, over-parenting happens in families with one child or with the first child when parents are trying desperately to raise a perfect child which eventually will become the perfect adult, which word ”perfect” doesn’t exist!
By the age of 2, some children can read, write, cook, swim, drive, start up a business, and paint the walls not with poo but paint. I am exaggerating and sarcastic now.
Over-parenting or tiger parenting comes in many forms and many actions done by the parents thinking that they are protecting and raising a healthy child, when in fact, they give no chance to that child to decide without their influential. Family Studies has found that over-parented children show less autonomy, competence and ability to relate to others as teens, which can result in depression and decreased overall life satisfaction.
Children deserve a childhood with no unnecessary restrictions from an over-parenting parent!
Relax, take a deep breath and re-think your parenting style!
Cum îmi învăț copilul să aprecieze ceea ce are?
Cred cu tărie că sunt mulți părinți care au observat la un moment dat cum copilul lor nu apreciază ceea ce au. Cu căt le cumpără și oferă mai multe cu atât disprețuiesc ceea ce au.
Primul pas este chiar acesta, de a conștientiza atitudinea copilului tău și a recunoaște că nu este corectă.
De obicei găsim atitudini nemulțumitoare in familiile cu o stare financiară peste medie, părinții care oferă totul pe tavă copiilor lor fără a-i învăța arta aprecierii.
Cum putem schimba situatia?
- Tu ești modelul copilului. Folosește cât mai des ”MULȚUMESC, TE ROG”.
- Comunicarea ( în funcție de vârstă) ieri ai cumpărat o jucărie scumpă, azi îți cere una, tu ce faci îi cumperi sau comunici cu el/ea situația? Cumpărând ceea ce vrea copilul la fiecare reclamă văzută, sau shopping nu facem decât să instalăm disprețuirea față de valoarea lucrurilor deja avute. Oricum copilul se plictisește de jucărie cam după 10 minute, și apoi se pune praful pe ia.
- Vorbim copiilor despre empatie, mulțumire, dărnicie, generozitate și le amintim cu unii copii nu au aproape ce mânca iar ei au totul în fiecare zi.
- Fiți confidenți în a spune ”NU” copiilor. Ei vor cere jucării, bomboane, jocuri video, poate la fiecare oră vin cu cereri crezând că li se cuvine totul și orice dorință li se împlinește ca atunci când lui Aladdin i se îndeplinea orice dorință de către Duhul din lampă. DAR ce se va întâmpla peste 20 de ani când copilul acum adult înfruntă realitatea din societate? Aaaa am înțeles, o să fie CEO la firma familiei, dar care o să-i fie atitudinea față de bieți angajații?
Un copil mulțumitor și plin de bunătate va fi un adult responsabil și plin de generozitate!
HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY!
Beautiful souls, amazing and wonderful women, you are precious!
We are precious every day, hour, minute and second.
Reading through thehistory of women’s day, I have noticed the greatest courage, determination, beautiful faces fighting together for their rights, our future.
Here are some bible verses for you. Be wise. Be smart.
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.
Teaching kindness to children
To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. ― Dr Seuss
Many parents are wondering when should I teach kindness to my child?
Well, do not forget that the child is imitating you and you are his/her role model at least in the early years.
“We can’t control their behaviour, but we can look for ways to demonstrate kind behaviour ourselves.”
Fortunately, kids are eager to copy us from a young age, so you can model kindness from the time they’re babies. “After all, you want your 18-month-old to imitate hugging someone. As they get older, your kids will watch how you treat people, from subtle interactions, such as putting your phone down to make eye contact and say thank you, to more tangible acts of kindness, like inviting a lonely person to share a holiday, bringing a meal to a sick neighbour, comforting the bereaved, and donating time and money to take care of people in need.

I won’t be around for a little while because I am working on a children’s book!!!
I had this sentence on my to-do list for quite a while, ”write a children’s book, Crina”!
But all the time was something else coming my way that stopped me. Finally, this should be a perfect time, and I do not care what’s coming next. I am gonna finish the book this year.
I love children with all my heart. I want them to enjoy, to smile while reading the book written by me.
The process’s quite difficult and takes time, but I hope until the end of July to have it published.
If you are a parent, please comment down below what is your child/ren favourite book.
I can’t wait to share with you the BIG NEWS one day. Keep me in yor thoughts, prayers.And I appreciate any suppoort!

Changing a future
5 little children from Romania live in poverty. They never had their own house.
The children and a single Mom are living in a tiny room with no electricity or running water. The room is not even theirs, it is Mom’s boyfriends. He is aggressive with the children and kicks them out at least once a month.
A small house will solve all their problems. No more trauma for the kids, they will go to school and have a stable place to live.
Please, share or help if you can.
