Moments with Alex. (my son) 📥

 

We work on correcting his posture, no biggie but it needs to be addressed.

 

So I’ve started a series of exercises with him, mental and physical ones. Going to share part of the list I prepared for him.

 

Here is how it actually goes.

 

Wall angels exercise. I tried to make it fun.

Me:

 

  • Imagine you are Spiderman and…

His reaction.

Stops completely the exercise and crawl on the wall, saying:

 

  • See? I am not Spiderman, you lied to me. (in a fun way)

I could only laugh with him, this stuff never worked on him (superheroes stuff).

 

I have to get really creative with him…

 

Next one. The rope exercise.

 

  • Imagine someone is pulling the rope up…
  • Wait, I have to pull the rope to work. Done.

Lol, this one worked a bit better with his adjustments.

 

Breathing exercise to connect with his body and visualization.

This one was hilarious! I wish I could do a video (he doesn’t let me lol).

 

I always told him – you are a great comedian (among other things). 

You’ve guessed it, he is the center of fun in his groups, at school… (also a top student)

 

Another moment with him.

 

  • Mami, how come you always know what I think before I speak? Are you in my mind or what?
  • Hehe kido, it’s magic! And this should tell you that you stand no chance in lying to me, unless I allow it.

 

His face after hearing this? Priceless.

The interpretation was “I’m f****ed!” 😂😂

I just couldn’t hold back from laughing.

 

Another moment.

 

I was testing where he’s at psychologically to specific situations that may happen, given his age (11).

 

  • What if a friend or a colleague tells you that he doesn’t like the way you dress, or your choice in food, about your opinions…?
  •  

His immediate reaction, (singing):

 

 -🎵 I don’t give a s**t! 🎵

 

😄  followed, of course, by a grounded discussion about him and people around him, about respect and boundaries… 

I take advantage of every chance I get to help him implement healthy beliefs. Of course, this happens rarely… I have to catch him “in the mood” lol. 

I always respect his space and personality.

 

And every day brings something new.

Conscious parenting is the greatest journey of all!

 

I raise my son knowing that one day he is going to be the partner, husband, of a woman.

I raise him to be able to face any experience life may serve him.

With love and fun, with self-esteem and confidence.

With self awareness. With the knowledge that he can do Anything he sets his mind to.

Building an authentic, confident, aware, and respectful approach to girls (later on women) he interacts with.

 

In the chapter I dedicated to my son – Miracles Exists – I share my full journey about when I decided to have a kid, pregnancy, giving birth, and how I overcame challenging health issues when he was a baby, through pure intentions.

 

Caution – if you don’t have kids yet, this chapter only, will make you want one. And this is a direct feedback I received from someone without kids after reading it.

 

A few quotes to let it sync in even more:

 

“People say that children choose when to be born, where to be born, and the family. Given my “choice” to give birth in the best clinic with the best doctors, long before I even conceived it, I tend to believe these things.”

 

“We are his parents, not his cage!”

 

“He has his own choices to make, his own fears to overcome, his own dream to follow, his own dramas to live, his own loves to feel, his own car to drive, his own luggage to carry, his own travels, his own emotions to understand.”

 

Get inspired with The Journal of Human Emotions ebook. 

And winter holidays… is the perfect moment to do that.
