Ifavn: To Love Your Child Beautifully

To love your child beautifully means to love them with all your heart. Forever. How mothers love; with music, emotions and poems. The parents’ purest love is engraved in their child’s hearts for life. This love forms the fingerprint of the family.

We are sure that before you acquired your maternal instinct, you never imagined that you had a love so whole, so pure and so intense. Sometimes the same deep love fills you with fear and endless worries

Experiencing fear is completely normal

Am I doing it right? Does my child need something I am not aware of? Is he in pain? Is he upset for some reason?

Fear is usually in the upbringing of a child. This fear forces us to give the best we can every day. They do it so that we can really get to know each other, because as we all know, every child is different.

Your child is unique and perfect in his own way. It’s  one of a kind – right down to the way it breathes.

And at the same time, you will no doubt discover a new and unique way to love your child beautifully. A love that transcends everything you have felt so far.

It is much deeper, cleaner and more comforting –  your child makes a permanent mark on your soul and reminds you that time and distance do not matter. 

This little creature will always be a picture of perfection for your eyes. Even when he is an adult dressed in a suit, independent, goes his own way in life… He will still be your perfect little baby.

Today at  “Børnenesverden” we will talk about the wonderful art of making beautiful love.

To love your child beautifully is to create a healthy and lasting bond

Until a long time ago, people increasingly had a kind of systematic method of raising children. We refer to the kind of daily attention that focuses on ensuring that a baby eats according to plan, falls asleep easily and grows up as he should.

According to this philosophy, a child must reach each developmental point at specific times and in a specific order: speech, crawling, potty training, etc.

• In contrast, embracing or natural parenting is not so focused on these types of goals. The purpose of embracing is to  establish a solid emotional bond with your baby, a healthy and meaningful attachment defined by love and closeness.
• With this bond as a foundation, we allow our children to develop at their own pace. We make an effort not to rush our child or expect our children to start walking before they are ready.
• To love your child beautifully in this case is to feed them with love as if their life depended on it – because it is. The presence of a mother is crucial for the well-being of a child. The presence of a father is important for the formation of this bond.

To love your child beautifully means to know them and understand their needs

Today we have more access to information than ever before. However, there are still parents who expect their children to be exactly as they want them to be.

• Education based on strict obedience is, according to a prescribed scripture, where the needs of the child are not taken into account. That is a big mistake.
• We should educate with respect and accompany our children day by day to understand them and know their specific needs.
• Loving your child beautifully starts from the very first weeks of their lives. Even when our babies are newborns, we can begin to perceive their personalities. We can know if our child is demanding, light, eager to be kept constantly, or to be laid down in their crib.

Little by little, our children give us more ideas and show more behaviors that allow us to know them on a deeper level. The time will come when we will help them control their emotions, when we will understand their frustrations and calm their rage.

All of this is part of loving your children beautifully. It means: Not to punish, shout and not bring up through fear.

A happy childhood is the foundation of maturity

To love beautifully is to sew precious memories in your child’s heart and mind

A happy childhood is the basis of maturity and provides more psychological resources, to find satisfaction and triumph.

It is about being close to our children and caring for them through understanding with an active listening ear.

It means giving security and confidence to our offspring and making them feel valuable. To love our sons and daughters beautifully means to bring them up with a healthy self-esteem.

At the same time, we must make sure we do not overlook another important aspect: we must fill their childhoods with happy memories. To do that, we need  to be aware that our children need our time. 

Our active presence and commitment in their daily activities will create meaningful and unforgettable moments. It provides pleasant feelings that remain in their hearts. And ours.

So spend time with your child and show commitment. Love them beautifully. Give them the life they deserve – a life of happiness.
