source "Do you count the minutes until, finally, your child goes to bed?"

With your hand in your heart, do you think that some days?

In those days, we just want to "survive" and survive the day.

But at night, when we are in bed, and we see our children sleeping so innocently, we realize that we want something more than "survival."

We want to accompany our children in life so they can develop. We want you to be able to enter into deeper relationships. We want them to be empathetic and responsible in later life. We want our children to develop a healthy self-esteem, as well as a good self-confidence. We want our children to solve their problems later and thus grow.

In addition to that, we want a deep connection with our son, a relationship based on respect and trust, where we can grow together. In many situations, in me, and certainly in many other parents, these are our highest goals. But, what if we always ask exactly, then what is happening?

What do I want for my son? What qualities should I develop and lead to adulthood? What attitude should I take to help my child grow emotionally healthy?

No, I do not urge you to become the perfect mother (or the perfect father), because they are only in our imagination. Nobody is perfect and that's good! Yes, there are times that we simply can not connect with the child, in most cases it is because we are not really connected with ourselves.

The moments when we just want to survive are actually opportunities to support our son in his development. That's good news.....

Many times, we are so anxious that our children behave as we want, that we end up losing moments together of fun, learning, unforgettable memories, genuine smiles, warm hugs.

The good development of the child's brain and its behavior depends to a large extent on how they experience the world.

Brain
(the child's brain)
 

To learn to know them we must enter the inner world of our children, in this way, we can master difficult situations much better if we know exactly what is happening in our children. Today I dedicate my contribution to the brain. So let's look at the various parts of the brain (or the child's brain) and their tasks.

• Left brain

This half of the brain always puts things in order, likes lists, is logical and loves words.

• Right brain

This half of the brain works without language, is holistic, transmits and receives signals (which help us communicate, such as facial expression, voice, posture, ...). She does not care about the order, but she sees the whole picture (the meaning and the feeling of an experience). She is responsible for our emotions. She sends a "feeling" or an "intuition of the heart".

• Lower brain

  Here are the brainstem and the limbic area. This part of the brain is the "primitive" because it is responsible for basic functions (such as breathing), spontaneous reactions (fleeing or fighting) and strong emotions (anger and anxiety).

 

• Cerebro superior

  This area consists of the cerebral cortex and its various parts. This is where the most complicated processes take place.

1. intelligent decision making / careful planning
2. Regulation of emotions and the body
3. self-knowledge
4. empathy
5. morality

The brain is the first three years of age.
source

In the first three years, the child's brain is almost without the left hemisphere. Because they have not yet learned to use logic and words to express their feelings.

They live in the now. Our children are completely immersed in the game. It does not matter to you (or your right brain) if you are late for the appointment if you do not finish your game immediately.

Logic, responsibilities and time do not exist for them. The right brain (which they use mainly at that age) has no idea of these things.

During these first three years, visual memories are not stored, however much we want to remember our first three years, we will not succeed. For this, the feelings are stored, which are stored directly in the unconscious.

Horizontal integration/development of the left hemisphere.
source

Let's talk about "horizontal integration", the logical left hemisphere should work together with the emotional right brain. Porestaes need to form links between them. They must fulfill their own task and at the same time work together as a whole.

Only when the "why phase" begins, the left hemisphere is activated. For this, he wants to recognize the relationships of cause and effect, he wants to put some thought into it. She wants to express this logic in words.

Our children suffocate pictorially in their sensations and bodily emotions. Only the left brain can express those feelings in words. This link is like a surfboard with which you can enjoy your sensations like waves. So they get the necessary distance and they no longer drown in their emotions. The child's brain is formed.

Our children will appreciate both their logic and their emotions, they will be balanced and they will be able to understand themselves and the world.

We can influence the level of integration of the hemispheres with the way we treat our son.
source

The speed and maturation of the brain are determined to a large extent by our genes. But we can influence the level of integration with the way we treat our child on a daily basis. That is, we can influence how different parts of the brain (our child) work together.

The brain of the child changes plastically, is malleable, in the course of childhood, but also in adulthood. Now he wants to know with certainty what his son's brain is. Very simple: experiences. Every experience, every person we love, every book we read, every piece of music we hear, etc. Give shape to our brain.

This does not mean that we are hampering every interaction with the child to confine the child's brain. And it does not mean that everything is lost forever if we make mistakes. It indicates the quality of the atmosphere in the family, so that our relationships with the child are daily.

Much more we can simply be present many times to help our children develop better. When the parts of the brain are well connected, our children can make better decisions later, have a good feeling towards others and towards themselves, how to learn, etc.

---

So, as parents, we can do a lot to provide our children with experiences that help them develop a strong and well-integrated brain.
