A parent helps a child to manifest his own evolution

Being a mother, as well as being a father on the other hand, is an important experience.
After all, if the parent thinks about it, he has in his hands the possibility of helping to shape what is the future not only of an individual, but that of many other people who come into contact with this individual.
The parent has an enormous responsibility, and it is therefore necessary that he be helped in all possible ways so that he becomes aware of his responsibilities and transmits those values ​​that he considers right, those emotions that he considers important, those thoughts that he considers correct, those feelings that he considers right. foundational to the creature who has the task and duty to make grow.
We have already dealt with all this many times, but I would like to underline some important points that border on the broader teaching but which are sometimes forgotten or neglected; because, you see, many times children, children, are considered as little pets. We often tell you that others mirror you and that, by experiencing with other people, you can - by observing the person in front of you - understand not so much the person himself as a part of you.
Now, since in Reality there is always a balance in all the factors that you encounter in the course of life, even in being a parent there is not only the responsibility that the parent feels - or, at least, should feel - towards the child but, together with this "burden" - which after all is also a help, as well as a burden - there is, for balance, what he receives from the child; because if other people are "mirrors", think that a mirror can be a little child for each parent!
By observing the child, the parent can understand an infinity of things about sé himself, worrying less about what the child's reaction may be, taking off some of those masks that, in relationships with adults, he sometimes puts on and thus allowing himself to be more himself.
This is how the child - especially when he is small, when he does not have many superstructures and is still a small "blank slate" - is a perfect mirror to recognize what we put about ourselves in the relationship with this little creature.
Undoubtedly our behavior has consequences on the child, it certainly creates guidelines, it creates bases on which the child, little by little, builds his own character and therefore his own life, his own way of being; bases that go hand in hand with those genetic bases you mentioned earlier.
But keep in mind that there is another unknown factor, vastly unknown, that you cannot really interact with, as parents, in any small part, namely theevolution that the son has behind him and is still waiting to manifest himself; therefore, remembering this, it must be emphasized that it is right that the parent always tries to give the best to the child, but it is also right that he tries to show himself as he is, in such a way that the child sees all aspects of the other person and you begin to move within it those energies that will then, over time, allow the evolution behind you to shine through from your behavior and actions.
A parent, therefore, is not only the one who gives material for the child's body to grow; he is not only the one who gives a cultural basis for the child to learn knowledge; he is not only the one who gives an emotional basis for the child to learn to express his affectivity, but he is also the one who provides an ideal substrate to ensure that the child can express his own evolution and, therefore, evolve further.
Perhaps this, even if it is the least understood of all the factors we have talked about, is one of the most important factors, because it is very important for anyone to be able to express what they really feel and find an environment in which this is possible.
Io I hope that all of you, all those who have children or, for that matter, who also have grandchildren, or are close to children - because the role of parent does not end with one's own children, but one can also be a "parent" of another's child, at least ideally - I would like all these people, in contact with small children, to realize how much they can do for them, but also how much these little children can give them in return. Weather

My father is the sun, which caresses my body with its rays.
My mother is the moon, which lights up even my darkest days.
My father is the sea, which surrounds my whole world.
My mother is the earth, which continually offers me its fruits.
My father is the wind, which carries the clouds and pushes them away.
My mother is the rain, which quenches my thirst and cleanses my soul.
And me, who am I?
I am my father, I am my mother, I am my son.
I'm a man.

Peace to you.
