Yesterday I was able to experience my own childhood dream or experience rather. My daughter had her first lunge-hour! Riding was since she 3 is an issue but between them they had the opportunity to the different sports, motion- und Interessensgebiete zu erkunden und auszuprobieren. Particularly, weil Reiten körperliche Stabilität und Entwicklung benötigt.

Ich konnte als Kind und Jugendlich auch alles ausprobieren, was mich interessiert hat. Bei mir waren es vornehmlich Instrumente und musische Kurse, wobei ich nach einem Jahr oder noch viel öfters früher nicht mehr wollte. Alleine das Singen im Chor, alone, in der Gruppe oder das Theaterspielen waren eine Konstante von Volksschule bis zur Matura. Nur Reiten das war finanziell bei meinen Eltern nicht drinnen, es ist damals wie heute ein kostenintensives Hobby. Vielleicht weil ich alles ausprobieren konnte und sehr frei in meinen Entscheidungen war, versuche ich diese Möglichkeiten meinen Kindern so weiterzugeben. Der große Unterschied ist, dass meine Tochter wesentlich zäher ist und länger bei den meisten Sachen durchhält als ich. Was aber auch dazu führt, dass ihre Woche gut befüllt ist, mit Ballett (since 6 Years), mit Fussball (since 3 Years) und abwechselnd hat sie schon gemacht bzw. macht es noch Judo, Singen, Vital Training, Voltigieren und eben jetzt Reiten. Auf die Frage einer Freundin an meine Tochter, wann sie denn dann mich sieht, wenn sie fast täglich etwas machen will, kam: “Wieso ich schlaf eh zu Hause und Wochenende gibt es auch noch …”.

I think, machne Anlagen hat sie dann doch wohl von mir :)!

Last night my daughter asked me, why should a child's voice counts less, than that of an adult, and of course I could have said, that's not true, because every child actually has as much to say as truth and we as adults and yet it is only really, because both she and her boyfriend have noticed F, that while playing together just a lot of his younger brother has struck hard and unjustified. And the question, why does he do it, came the reply: “because my parents do that too …” Both children were shaken and it is days later topic, especially what leeway you have as an adult and can do what the children themselves?

Is good, that both children have not been silent, and told the parents. Is good, that both children and the other does not have overlooked it, have equal but told the lads, that this behavior is not okay. Is good, that we are aware.

Is bad, that such things happen and we can not protect our children from. The time to speak freely and to talk about but it is an important first step.

Anyone who knows my children, knows, that they have their own features. As each child for his parents. Anyone who knows my son, also knows his nickname, like PamPam, Henry 8, or Little Hercules. To improve his behavior I have read some interesting literature, had exchanges with parents and professionals. I came across a few interesting and interesting approaches. But be warned,, Children grow and learn so fast, that , what was previously a challenge – on how the cocoa must be filled exactly to the millimeter and can be drunk only ingested correct posture – is no longer an issue. Disappeared, away, like it never existed before. The cocoa is now in a “cup” only half full and sitting “normal” to be drunk. And what is normal, is defined by our society and environment?

One tip I have received and which is very effective and also appears as logical, is the demand of child eye contact – active – particularly, when things do not go as, as it parent or child wants. But among the children to learn, they perceive the other person and have the possibility to recognize, who stands before one and just wanted to do what one might.

I love my 2 Features, which reflect much of a self-, that sometimes it is bad to me as much honesty.

Today, short and concise explanations, but only because it was so striking on the weekend. A 3-year does not have to play alone without adults in the yard and it is not the task of the 6-year – unrelated – and watch the 8 year old brother, because they can not do and some want. What I do! And thus it happens nunmal, that the brother goes away with his old friend and the same 3-year stands alone, lost to … And I'm glad, that even to this day nothing has happened.

Point is my opinion.
