Dad, I'd like a Mercedes for my birthday

Marzenia nie mają granic
Our children's dreams often surprise us. When children are a few years old, we accept these dreams uncritically. However, when they start to have years of "oath", we start to worry. Well, how to go here calmly over the dream: "I want to be a cashier in Biedronka". Apparently we have a lot of respect for all cashiers in the world, but there is anxiety - is this the peak of our kids' dreams? And what happens when dreams come from very high shelves?

Tymczan, he is the master of logic. Despite his 11 years, he draws conclusions as smoothly as Socrates. I think that the day when the first, spontaneous and creative association will emerge in Tymczan's mind will be a day of tragic and irreparable loss for science.

Ewczana's birthday

Recently, during Ewczan's birthday, there were eight single candles and one in the shape of a figure eight on the cake. To Ewczan, it was very important for individual candles, because each one was burning in a different color, and the candle in the shape of an eight made Dad from two tealights, so it was also necessary to be on the cake. As justification, such extravagance, Ewczan, she said: "Because it's so cool!" Meanwhile, Tymczyn, seeing the cake, proved that the exact sciences can sleep well, because he asked: "Is Ewczan surely has an 88 birthday today?"

Unlimited dreams

Together with Licówka, we try not to limit the development of our children. Like Richard Branson's parents, we repeat them: "Stop telling me that you will do something, just do it." Like regular coaches, with good corpo, we repeat that there are not too many dreams, and that they can achieve anything they want, if they only start to do it.

Tymczan and his logic

One summer evening, Tymczan timidly appeared in my field of vision. So he pushed his way through the hall. He always does that when he has an important case. A shy appearance in the field of view resembles a scene from the Matrix, the one in which Neo can see, twice the same cat.

Taught by experience, I decided to "lure" Tymczan closer. At the second passage through the corridor, I asked him to come over and see some movie on my computer.

All that is left now is to wait. Tymchenski pared for a moment that he was very interested in something out there, and quickly went to the heart of the team, asking:

- Dad, do you know what I would like to get for my birthday in half a year? (after a pause on my part, he answered himself). A gaming phone.

Who does not know what it means gaming, let him know: gaming equals "aju dear", and in this particular case, "auć dear" means: something for more or less four thousand auc ...

For the sake of clarity: Tymczan's dream was not the result of his "dissolution". Our kids, most things have to earn, (you can read about it here) and in principle they know the value of hard work for PLN 1. His dream came from an iron logic: if dreams have no limits - I want to have a gaming phone. After all, "there are no limitations in dreams", that's what parents say - pure logic.

Mobilization

Hearing the Tymowa's dream, the officer in charge of the Parent's Headquarters, in my head, announced the fourth degree of DEFCON and began to launch, the stoppages of the basic defense procedure:

Step 1. Do not show uncertainty. Action: Answer in a calm voice "Nice idea!"

Step 2. Gain time. Action: ask "Have you thought about it?" Or in really heavy cases "And what are your other three ideas for a gift?"

Step 3. Make the best decision in the time provided, or start pretending to be a catatonic coma.

Thanks to this, I have obtained an invaluable moment to prepare a response, saving the years of educational work:

- Become a gaming user YouTuber!

After a moment Tymczan's silence fell:

- Ok. In all, logical

Because there are not too many dreams

There are not too big dreams. Why should we determine the value of our children's dreams? Imagine their probable future. Perhaps they will not ask for a well-deserved hike at work "because they are not worth enough." They will not get the dream girl or boy, because they do not deserve them. Why? Because they have, by somebody (today through us, then through their subconsciousness), a certain value. Instead of limiting our children, let's help them in choosing the right path. Let's help them find the right addressee of dreams, in 9 cases out of 10 of them.

Supplement: the power of parental faith in children ...

And by the way, I have no doubt that if such a Licówka, he will call for sponsors, they will not only pass the gaming phone for testing, they will also provide a company plane, a yacht, and a credit card number. Because nothing is impossible, for parents who believe in their children.

Every day, I am a husband, father, boss, employee, naturalist, storyteller, pre-medical rescuer, self-taught in the field of breeding and rescue of two-headed unicorns, a tree surgeon (yes, there is something), a certified chainsaw operator, a bushlayer, the owner of probably the most lazy hound (in this part of the world) and I have the conviction that someone will read what I am writing. In my free time I am building a time machine to improve something in the history of the world (eg do you know that the recipe for Coca-Cola, invented by Kola Zytnicki from Biała from Suwałki?). The vehicle is also necessary for me to write off all outstanding emails and to create missing commas in my texts. More info about me and the whole story of Kola from Biała can be found below the globe icon.

Banning the cells at school - it's just a slice of the wound that becomes a problem

  • 820 views
I read more and more often that it would be a great idea to introduce a cell ban at school. In addition, a few friends mentioned that school uniforms would also be a great idea. And all this in the name of "equal opportunities" and the lack of division into "those richer and poorer." Do we all have our children as idiots? Do we believe that this is how our adult life works? This approach is becoming a problem. However, it does not have to be that way.

Parent! Do not hit the children like a drum!

  • 635 views
Everyday sifting. My task lists often have their task lists - and endlessly. The word rush and the desire to be a "perfect parent" sometimes lead us into dangerous areas of being "mega grown up and professional" in relation to our kids. When we return from work, we do not devote even 3 minutes to share our emotions - we only start a list of tasks - what we have done, what we set, etc. And what if someone "specifically" welcomed us at work, at friends or in a café?

How to shout to children so that they do not take it personally

  • 1.4K views
First of all, it's best not to shout. And that's it. However, we know from experience that it is not always possible. In the book, Mrs. Dorota Zawadzka (Super Nanny), we once read that she does not shout at her children, but screams at her children. And that absolutely changed our approach to this topic. The change from "to" to "to" radically changes the form of things. But how to shout to your children so that they do not take it personally?
