Good morning, Dear Users ♥️

Hello Community. Today I am writing to you to talk about a very sensitive and sensitive issue such as Bullying. I still find it hard to believe that in the 21st century this issue is still so ignored by many adults and many public and government agencies. I emphasize this topic because of a comment my husband made to me a few days ago while I was cutting his hair. He was telling me that one of his coworkers took it out on him, the girl started crying and told him that her son was being bullied at school for being a geek 🤓 WTF?

This made a lot of noise to me because as new parents, we are in a country where racism and bad education is still lived by people. My husband and I were surprised because we are geek fans. What's wrong with really liking something that doesn't cause any harm to anyone and exteriotizing it? I still don't get it. And obviously we will talk to our firstborn Maximiliano about what we like the most. Our tastes range from Harry Potter, Marvel, DC Comics, Play Station, Warhammer 40.000, among others. We even celebrate our son's birthday every month with a different theme to have pictures for our family memories.

Just yesterday I asked my husband if his co-worker would do anything about it. He said yes. The girl went to the child's school and went to talk to the teacher. The teacher's response was puzzled: "Oh, they're kids. They're just joking around. The girl was so angry that she asked for a parent-teacher conference and is waiting for it. I am overwhelmed with the teacher's response. If it had happened to me, I would surely tear down my child's school. - How do some people minimize these types of acts? - Do they not watch the news or are they unaware of how serious bullying is? - The truth is that I got really angry about this, which is not my problem, I am a person totally unrelated to the problem, but the reality hits me in the face when it comes to situations or problems with children.

The boy could no longer take the insults from his classmates and told his parents. Insults ranging from "faggot" to "fat". Please, gentlemen. Those who are parents and love their children would not tolerate or turn a blind eye to such a matter. Starting with the teacher downplaying the issue until the child had the stamina to deal with the situation for too long is not well regarded or normal for anyone's mental health.

To be more explicit, I have a theory and it hasn't failed me: "Children are sponges. They love to imitate their elders, so be very careful what you do in front of them." I affirmed it with my son and I reiterate it even more for my nieces and nephews because children are great imitators by nature. Every time I played with them and did a dance, notice that they wanted to do it just like I did. Many times what they see and experience, they repeat it. We can also see it exemplified in a movie or in real life, it is always observed that the child who assaults, insults and makes fun of others is because at home or in his inner circle receives the same treatment or lacks much love and empathy from their loved ones. That is, this behavior is mostly a reciprocal behavior due to the lack of love, affection and esteem.

It is sad that many people from childhood grow up with little tact and a lot of evil. There is a saying that speaks about setting an example, Albert Einstein once said the following: Setting an example is not the main way to influence others; it's the only way. I think that in parenting, example is crucial in the development of our little ones. Because it is one thing to laugh at something really funny caused by spontaneity and quite another to make fun of a person's appearance or physical condition, tastes or behaviors that we don't understand.

We are in the era where we can express ourselves freely but many people confuse that freedom with licentiousness. We believe that we can make any kind of comment, gesture or action without consequences. Notice when you speak ill of your neighbor or your own family in front of your child. You think they are not understanding anything because they are "little" but they are and you have to be very careful what you say and do in front of children. Because if you kiss, hug and talk to and impart love to your children every day, they will know what that feeling is and will spread it to the world. But if, on the other hand, you talk down and yell at the child because you lost your temper in an outburst, what do you think the consequences will be in the future?

I am very much in favor of raising children 🚸 in a respectful way. I stress that I am far from being a psychologist as a professional, but I am a mother or rather, a human being aware of the effects we can cause in others with our words and our actions. So be very careful 👀 with our little children. Talk to them, ask them about how they feel about a certain situation, validate their feelings and above all give them lots and lots of love; because love 🩷 is what the whole world needs today for there to be a change of consciousness in all senses.

Thanks for taking a few minutes of your time to read me 📖 See you soon ✌🏼
