Don’t Cut My Wings: I Was Born To Learn By Playing And Experimenting

“Don’t clip my wings”, the children would say if they could express themselves adequately from a very young age to the parents who, with their patience exhausted, implore the child to be quiet, silent and without scattering anything.

“Don’t cut my wings, I’m just a child,” any child would respond to every scream, anger, punishment, blackmail, or frustration that comes from any mother or father  upset over situations they irritate and believe they can’t control.

Of course, we parents often make mistakes regarding our children’s childhood and this is a blunder. We cannot think that children have an obligation to remain like statues or to maintain adult behavior.

Don’t cut my wings: let me play, I’m learning

No creature is born to remain still in one place, nor to be patient. Nor is it right to expect minors not to touch everything they see or remain silent for a long time. At least we can hope as mothers that the child will simply keep himself entertained.

“Don’t clip my wings”, from any point of view, although tiredness and patience sometimes don’t stand up to everyday life. Even if you find yourself busy with hundreds of things, and you find yourself imprisoned by a hundred other worries, it’s your child’s world and he needs you to grow up happy.

There is nothing better than investing time, dedication and a lot of love for these requests that one day will return even added to what was given. It’s not enough to put your child in front of a computer or buy the best toys; the child needs your company, contact and stimulation.

All these fundamental elements for the child and their development are masterfully combined and conjugated in children’s games, which include the exploration of the world. Knowing and learning is all about the whole playful experience and why not, all the clutter and mess in the house.

Don’t cut my wings, I’m just trying to discover the world

“Mommy, don’t clip my wings all the time.” Stop chasing and overly limiting your children by thinking about dangers, infections and personal hygiene. The child needs protection, but he also deserves to know the world. However, if you do not occasionally allow your child to go barefoot, play with food, or touch the ground, he may miss out on learning important things.

The child definitely needs to get close to any new object that catches his attention and arouses his curiosity, to go to adventure  and, above all, to dedicate himself completely to discovering the world with all his body.

And so, you have to move, be restless, get dirty, put things in your mouth and create a certain disorder, perceive, feel and touch different textures. It’s time to trust their attitudes, which are so instinctive that they seem etched naturally.

And what does it matter if this means having to spend the entire year arranging the toys scattered on each side of your “precious house”, washing a lot of extra clothes, cleaning your child so many times a day every time he has one. another idea of ​​how to get dirty?

It doesn’t matter how many times you have to run after the child, nor the amount of familiar eyes watching so that nothing worse happens.

Time does not go back, so try to enjoy and give the best you can to this little being, who gives you such unconditional and unique love. May everything be for the good development of your child’s childhood, so that he/she is a child, intelligent, free and full.

It’s time to let it fly. “Don’t cut my wings.” Allow him to play in a thousand ways, even the most unusual and surprising, because in the end, everything will become knowledge,  more than useful for his whole life.
