A few months ago we asked Carlos Andreu what were the main characteristics of the kids between 5 and 12 years old. Carlos told us that at those ages they were very curious, that they wanted to know everything and that they kept asking. He also explained that in that age group we should instill in them all the good that we can, the virtues and values that they will never forget. Although, he also explained, at fourteen and with adolescence between rebellion and although they seem to forget what we teach them, however, what they learn is recorded by fire. So we are in the moment to teach them responsibility, fellowship, generosity, humility and also sorry.
I remember this interview because reviewing the blog of Carlos Andreu I found an article that explains what a son thinks of his father and that starts this strong:
- At 4 years: my dad can do everything
- At 5: my dad knows everything
- At 6: my dad is wiser than yours
- At 8 years old: I think my dad doesn't know everything
- At 10 years: years ago, when my dad grew up, things were different
- At 13: my father has no idea about that, of course
- At 15: don't pay attention to my father, he's old fashioned
- At 17: sometimes I wonder how my old man could get ahead if he doesn't know anything
- At 21: my old man? Pouf! He is lost ... he is from another era
- At 25: I think my old man knows something about this ... He has lived so long!
- At 30: maybe I should consult my old man to see what he thinks. Has experience
- At 40: I won't do anything until I talk to my father
- At 50: I wonder how my father would have done this. He was so wise
- At age 55: I would give anything because my father was here now to talk this with him
And at home we approach the age of thirteen and some teenage traits They start to see each other. It will be necessary to continue orienting, teaching and creating ideas to be able to reach an age, like mine, in which references and perspective are demanded to try not to make much mistakes.
