And now… Who do we leave the children with?
And now... Who do we leave the children with? It's one of the big questions all parents ask ourselves when it comes time to leave the little ones, because work, family, or other obstacles don't allow us to spend as much time with the piglets as we'd like. All this knowing that who better to care for them than ourselves? Although on occasion, more for the @malasmadres club than for lack of love, we would "give them away to the highest bidder" with our eyes closed.
One of the options we first consider is always a relative. In this case, as a mother myself, I'll tell you that grandmothers are always the first target for our prayers because we know how they operate, how they cook, how they educate, and the loving way they spoil the little ones in the house.
But when this possibility becomes out of reach, we begin to create a vortex of anxious thoughts, fears, and insecurities because any place or person seems too small. But... surprise!!! We all go through the same thing. So... let's get to work!
First of all, if your child isn't yet of a "respectable" age (don't get me wrong, the age of majority is still a long way off) to start school, there are plenty of daycare centers where they can spend time fostering emotional, cognitive, and academic development, as well as developing communication and relationships with other children, which fosters their development in social interactions. The options are varied: part-time, part-time, full-time, and even daycare centers in case we need to go out at unsociable hours to do yoga so that the child is protected and well cared for.
Things change when the little one reaches school age (time flies, but they still have a few years until university, so don't worry!), since it's imperative to leave them alone and let them begin their own life in society. Then we'll start thinking about whether a private or public school is best. We'll look for schools close to home or where school buses run the fastest route so they can get home as quickly as possible and cuddle them as if they're coming back from the longest journey of their lives. But I'll tell you that if, like me, you have a GPS watch (in this case, a Superior SaveFamily model), you'll be able to see where they're going so the wait isn't so long, or even talk to them while they're on the bus.
Another important aspect when choosing a school is the physical conditions: a center where children feel protected, comfortable, and safe, and where they won't feel overwhelmed by large spaces or invaded by older students.
In addition, we'll look at whether the school has a cafeteria, depending on our needs as parents or the level of stress we feel at mealtimes due to how "good eaters" our students have turned out to be.
Teachers are another aspect to consider, since if you know the school, there will be a ton of highly confounding opinions about whether or not to educate your child there. Otherwise, we'll be left with a great mystery and will be going in somewhat blind, although in this day and age of the Internet, more than one opinion can magically appear in our Google search.
These and many other questions will arise throughout their school years. Well, actually, I don't think the questions end even when they've left home.
Ah, we'll leave the university stage for a few years 😊 😊
