(To fully understand this chapter you may read first: Why am I so tired | Chapter 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfzMFY9uFS4 Raising children in modern times...What a challenge! We arrive at the end of the day, after a full day of work, and we become in friendly “cabbies” with a rushed smile on the face...then we take our children to the uncountable activities… I need time with my kids! Then I decide that I will make some search about art projects for kids, easy healthy meals to do with them, fun places to go near me,days out with the kids, kids learning activities...I found everything and I'm lost! I loose my patience and think about parenting styles. Am I doing authoritative parenting? How does a child's environment affect their behavior? I have an angry kid looking at me... We return home for dinner, for kids bath, for homework, for small discussions, for the preparation of the next day... How many faces do we have to be? The quality time we should have had with our kids, is wrapped and thrown up into our frustration. The weekend comes, we order some program for the kids which is in general “warm” and does not always imply the effective participation of parents. In fact, parents grab that time to take a deep breath. Challenges increase over time and less and less effective communication and misunderstandings do happen. The way parents deal with their children, has always been an issue that raise my curiosity and even before I have children. My curiosity made me pull this subject in relaxed conversations with other parents and friends. modernOver time, I was gathering information that I consider to be extremely valuable. A genuine source that comes from close friends and others about daily practice and life management with children.

So contrastant with some books that I have been reading about raising children in modern times and about life in general. Those books very interesting but extremely theoretical and philosophical that in no way help in daily practice with children. What would be the difference in parent’s attitude, to have as a result a child screaming in the middle of the floor, kicking around and embarassing everyone around, from another child that even managed well the frustration and went to play? Is it the parents? Is it the child? Strong personality as some parents justify? Is education? The school? grandparents? Resources?... And then… I had kids myself… Then, it became all too real! Now it was not only just curiosity in other parent´s children, I myself had 2 little beings, forever on my care! I was daily under a complex set of “examinations” by them to test my limits and my sanity! After the kiss goodnight and the "I love you Mommy!!!" I ended my day with a smile from ear to ear. A feeling mixed with a strong question mark on my head and my eyebrow raised. when I analyzed these wonderful creatures that were angelically sleeping right next door I was asking myself: what is the real deep meaning of "raising children in modern times"? I didn't have any prescription or book that would taught me "How to be a mum of two little girls who are exactly my daughters...!!!" Talking about parenting styles. What kind of parent I would be? Authoritive? Permissive? Can I choose? I didn't know me as a mother and now I was a mum! One of my greatest desires and one of my biggest challenges! The daily requests were constants, the sensation of my little kids need more time with me was obvious, the feeling of lack of time and mental availability was real... ...and my own time in time of everyday things…? where it would fit in? After all why do we want to have children? I wanted to have children!
