Reality is always as harsh as it could get. The rough start of the year 2022 is an uphill battle for most countries in the world. Despite the pandemic, some households are experiencing fires, floods, the loss of a loved one, or even poverty. During these times, we frequently forget that there is more to reality than meets the eye. We experience pain as we experience happiness. We feel love just as we feel hatred. As such, it is not all the time our situations are at their worst because there are always two sides to every coin.
Is there a brighter side to reality? Well, yes. Our children, whom we can count on for their imagination and creative thinking, are the ones we often disregard in times of hardships thinking they cannot contribute as much, but we are wrong. Instead of banning them from speaking up, being a 'know it all,' or even refusing them to aid us in our troubles in life, we should invite them to family meetings and make serious conversations. When children experience reality, there is a whole new perspective to see.
What you must very well know is that life will get more challenging as you go further into it; you must appreciate every little thing that will come your way- especially your children.
When children experience reality, they see it as an obstacle to overcome. Tight on money? They try to help you through understanding and patience, for they cannot buy as many toys as the other kids can. You can't take care of the dog? They would step up and assist you by playing with your dog whenever you're busy. The thing is, children are receptive to the environment they are in. They know when you are sad, and they know when there is a problem. Sometimes they tell you, and sometimes they don't. Such is the wisdom of a kid.
A child's imagination can reach limitless ends as they come up with creative solutions to their problem. You don't have to be frightened; let them know what is occurring because they will understand and help you.
"We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today." — Stacia Tauscher
