📕SESIÓN 27: CONTROL versus ACOMPAÑAR y RESPETAR.

This was the last session of my THERAPEUTIC BOOK CLUB. Thank you so much for joining me all this time. We talked about how much we continue to control our children and other children in our lives. We control their bodies: We don't let them move freely. Some children have to sit or stay still for longer than their bodies can handle. We don't consider their need for movement or satisfy it. We control their emotions; we don't allow them to express their frustration, helplessness, anger, hatred, or resentment. Some aren't even allowed to cry. We control their hunger and satiety rhythms: Many children are forced to eat even when they're not hungry, and others who are hungry have to wait until mealtime. Some are forced to eat ingredients they don't like. We control their sleep; few children can fall asleep when they're truly sleepy and wake up when they're no longer tired. They have to go to sleep at a specific time and are often woken up. We control their sphincters; few adults wait until they are truly ready to potty train them. We decide when the best time is, not them. Only a child knows when their body is ready and mature enough to control its own sphincters. We control their character; we try to make them less shy, more extroverted, or less talkative. We struggle to accept them as they are. We control their learning; we decide what they should learn, when, how, and at what pace. Very few children can enjoy learning what truly interests or excites them. By postponing it so much, they end up forgetting about it. Many learning disorders are due to us forcing them to make neural connections before they are neurologically ready. We control their decisions; we think we know best what is good for them. Many can't even choose the clothes they prefer to wear, the hairstyle they like best, or what they would like to do with their free time or on the weekend. We control their playtime. Some children cannot play freely and spontaneously.
