Children differ from their parents
There's no point in life if you do not learn something all the time. Then you can simply lay down your hands and wait for death. And one of the best opportunities that children give you is the opportunity to learn from them.
It's very boring if the kids copy everything to you. What in this can be interesting? But do not count on it, because they will never be the same as you. Similarly, do not think that they will love the same as you. If you are a fan of cricket, they will adore football. If you closely follow the fashion, they can be quite comfortable in tight jeans in any setting. To differ from you is their main task, the main task, and the older they become, the more it is manifested.
VERY BORING, IF CHILDREN IN ALL COPY YOU.
How do you react to all this? It is very simple to take with all my heart. Do not regret that children choose other ways;rejoice and learn from them. Children can show you something that you have not the slightest idea and have never even thought about;while they themselves will be very happy to teach you this. They can introduce you to something that you once could not learn and that now presents a real challenge for you( this particularly applies to new technologies).And, most of all, they can act so that it will be a great pleasure for you. Yes, it often happens that children can easily cope with situations that have always been a problem for you.
Every child has a lot of admirable things, and your admiration means more to him than someone else( even if he does not admit it).One of my children always could calmly tell people in the face that he thinks about them without worrying about the response. For me, this is also a very natural thing, but his mother( my spouse), always suffering from low self-esteem and a damned * need to please even those on whom she does not care, was delighted with his directness and independence of judgments.(And what's funny, the same thing in my performance for some reason did not admire it that way.)
And the other of my children turned out to be a born diplomat. Personally, I can hardly be diplomatic, even if it is necessary, and always feel uncomfortable at the same time. And he quite naturally found ways to get around any pitfalls in communication. And if I had not learned anything from him, I would not have learned from anyone, because this is the best example that I always had before my eyes.
