Communication Is What Is Important

🎧 Listen to the original message in Spanish from La Jardinera

My dear seeds,

I was at a parents' meeting at school, and it was a very important meeting because they had gathered all the parents and there were a lot of them. The teachers commented on how they were in class, how they saw the children, their behavior and the parents looked at each other and said:

"Well, we don't have a lot of time to spend with our children because we work, their mother and father alike, and we see very little of each other."

Or sometimes there was a mother who said:

“I have chosen to stay at home to raise my children and I have quit my job, but at the end of the month money is very tight, it is hard.”

There were parents who said: “Either I leave very early and I don't see them, I can't have breakfast with them, or I arrive very late at night and I can't have dinner with my children”

And all the teachers said: “this is a problem, but for the whole planet, because all the children want communication and they cannot.” It is the reason that they turn more to their mobile, or the internet, or other games.

Communication is so important, but it is also necessary to understand that if parents do not work, they cannot give them the life they wish for. So there was a very big problem, and they were both right, both the children and the parents and teachers emphasized that they had to talk a lot with the children.

Among them was a father and he said:

I can't see them, my children. And I have a very sensitive son and he is always waiting for me in the morning for breakfast, but I have to leave at 6 in the morning. When I come back he is already in bed, he has done his homework, had dinner and is already in bed.

So I've found a way to communicate with him. Every night, every night, before I go to bed, no matter how late it is, he goes into his room. I barely see him through the reflection of a small light that enters through the window and I look at him and I understand that he is waiting. I kiss him goodnight but he is so fast asleep! That he doesn't hear or perceive me, but do you know what I do? I take the sheet and in a corner of the sheet, in a corner I make a knot, I leave quietly and close the door”

The next day he looks at his mother and smiles at her and says:

“Dad came over yesterday and he kissed me!” “Oh yes, son? You spoke with him?" "Yes, he left me a knot in the sheet."

And so it went on, years and years.

When they went to school the teachers spoke to the parents again and said:

"There has been a change, there is one of the children who works very well, the most studious in the whole school."

And each father was saying: "I have taken a little more time, I have left an hour before, I have taken them to ride a bicycle, we have gone to the movies, we have gone to have a snack, I have been with them"

And of all the children in the class, only one studied well, was well educated, finished well, only praise. That child was the one whose father tied a knot in the sheets, because he knew that communication was that knot in the bedsheet, he knew that every night, every night, every night, not a single day was missing, where he gave him a kiss and towards the knot. This is how the son knew that his father passed by, that he did not forget him and that he was always present in the heart of that father.

I really liked that detail. Why don't we do this? Why don't you do it when you don't have time to see your children?

Leave a detail, write a note:

"I came to give you a kiss"

“I came by to tell you how you had spent the day”

“I came to give you a kiss and I have seen you so beautiful or so beautiful that tomorrow we can see each other.”

"I know you've had a good day or a difficult day" and leave them a piece of paper "but I'm always by your side."

Whether it's the mother or the father, you can do it, even if they're older! but you will see that they will appreciate it. And the teacher will tell you the result:the best student was the boy whose father tied the knot for him every night on the bedsheet.

My seeds, I have repeated so many times that attitude is what counts in life and if our attitude, however small it may be, makes us happy, let's keep it in mind, in memory and in our actions.

With all my love,

Your Jardinera

Many children are waiting for an embrace from their mother or father, without knowing that they are sacrificing themselves to give them the best, how ungrateful we are when we are small, how ungrateful because they already give it to us without asking, they give us life, their tenderness, their sweetness and their love. Keep it in mind: boys and girls, young people, take it into account. However severe they may be, they have always been there.

We will always stay with the beauty, the sweetness of history and we will forget what we did not like, so that it is lost in time.
