We all would like to do the best for our children. But is there a recipe for being a perfect mom? Faced with the challenges that children present to us every day, what is right to do and what not? The answer is not always the same as a message posted in the office of a Spanish pediatrician reminds us that has gone viral on the web.
There are endless opinions on what is best for children, beliefs that often lead to controversy and quarrels between mothers, fathers, various relatives and friends. To breastfeed or not to breastfeed? Follow traditional weaning or self-weaning? Send him to daycare or not? These are just some of the many question marks that we try to answer every day for the good of the children and the serenity of the whole family.
All parents over time develop their own beliefs about what is good for their children even if there is always someone who tries to make them change their mind, expressing unsolicited judgments on their work.
To completely change perspective and make us reflect on how different each situation is, reminding us that the maternal instinct continues to exist, a text entitled "The best is ..." has come up with it and is aimed precisely at mothers.
The best is
“The best is not the breasts.
It is not even the bottle.
The best is not to pick him up.
It's not even not picking him up.
The best is not to lay it this way.
It's not even laying it any other way.
The best is not to cover it like this.
It's not even covering it any other way.
The best is not to give him the smoothie food.
It is not even giving him the food in pieces.
The best is not what your mother says.
That's not even what your friend says.
The best is not that he is with a babysitter.
It is not even that he goes to the nursery or that he stays with his grandparents.
The best is not to follow that certain type of education.
It's not even following another type.
Do you know what the best really is?
The best is you.
The best is what makes you feel best.
The best is what your instincts tell you is best.
The best is what helps you feel good too.
The best is what allows you to be happy with your family.
Because if you're okay, they get the best. Because the best is you.
Because if you feel safe, they feel safe too.
Because if you believe that you are doing well, your peace of mind and your happiness reach them too.
Because the best is you.
Let's stop trying to tell any father or mother what is best.
Because what is really best for your children is you ”.
Author of the text is Jaione, a blogger who saw his post go viral after someone noticed it posted in a pediatrician's office, photographed it and then posted it on Facebook. Probably many mothers, especially those in the first experience, have identified with the message and breathed a sigh of relief in hearing those words!
